Post subject:  wheel fitment question

So I've done the search and after 7 pages and not the right answer I'll go ahead and ask.. I have an 06 libby and still no lift but its been getting used a lot on highways.. I've balded another set of AT tires. I need some aggressive tires for winter as I live in the NE Pa mountains. I want to get a set of highway/summer treads.. have a buddy who has a set of rims off his 300m. If he measured them right they sound like they will fit. Its a 9hr round trip to pick them up and I dont trust his measuring capability. This would be same as a dodge magnum/charger/300m and I think intrepid?
It would help to burn street tires on my 120 mile a day commute instead of nice expensive AT's..
Thanks,,
Steve

why don't you just put on a set of decent road tires on your existing rims? You know instead of AT's. Not sure why you'd want different rims - that's not going to solve anything with regard to tread wear on the open highways...not to mention, I don't think theres any chance those wheels would fit. Depending on what libby you have and if its stock, I would assume you now have 16x7 rims. Those being 5.5" of backspace and a 5 over 4.5 bolt pattern.

Mainly cause they would be free, and an excuse to go visit a buddy I havent seen in a while, and they were a 17" and 5 on 4.5 which is the same as the liberty.. was not able to get info on the BS on them.. 5.5 would be a bit much.. the stock alloy 16x7 are 5.25 bs I think? I'm going to have to look that up again.. and it would be nice to have two sets of rims,, one for winter and one for summer.. I have to travel in snow often and the tires that are good for snow do not seam to last long when driven on year round..

The 300m has the same bolt pattern,, and center hub diam. just cant find BS info.. did you mean the libby was a 5.5? I for some reason thought they were 5.25..
Thanks,,
