Rim/Tire Options

I have a 2011 Liberty w/ the Jet package. I was considering purchasing some used wheels/tires (mostly wheels) for the winter. What other Jeep models rims/tires will work on our Liberty and not screw up the odometer etc? I see a lot of used rims of Wranglers etc on craigslist as well as other Jeeps but not sure what will fit. :JEEPIN:

the smallest size factory rims that will fit a liberty are 16". zj grand cherokees, tj wrangler, xj cherokees and the compass and patriot rims will all have the same bolt pattern, maybe a few more out there. anything with 5x4.5" bolt pattern, some ford and dodge. you want your tire size to be 225/75/16 or 235/70/16 to keep the odo and speedo the closest to stock.

His speedo and odo might still be off since the Jet comes with 20" rims. I might just be talking out my A though. :dizzy:

that might be true but i would assume the outside diameter of the tire would be close to the same whether it be 16 or 20" wheels, which is why i said it would be close.

what tire size is on the factory 20s?

Thanks for all the information. I found a perfect set off a 2010 Wrangler but apparently their bolt pattern is different. Back to the drawing board for the time being.

if you go with the old MOAB set up (before 08 I believe) you should be at 5 x 4.5 pattern.

I am looking for some tires for my JET. I will be honest...I do not know much about tires or the numbers. I would like to put something on there that is a little bit wider, more adventurous, but keep the rims. I did not have much luck finding anything by searching the numbers you provided. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Doing the same as DJOUGAL, looking for winter rims for my 2008 Liberty. I see a lot advertised for kj , would they fit ( hub size ? ) ? Bolt pattern seems the same.
