I own an 02 Liberty Sport 4x4 currently running 235/70r16 tires. Would a set of Cragar Soft 8 wheels fit without any issues? I was looking at Summit Racing so I wasn't sure which backspacing I would need. Thanks for any help, I am kind of a rookie when it comes to tires/wheels.

the 16 x 7 Cragars wouldn't have any rubbing issues, they would just stick out 1.5 inches more than stock(due to the difference in backspacing) with the 235/70R16 tires?

you'll have rubbing issues unless you're lifted.

I have 245/70r16 on Cragar soft 8's 16x8 5" BS on my stock 05. I had to trim a little of the rear flares, pound the pinch weld, and they rub a little on the plastic in the front well but its not a problem.

I bet if you run the 235/70r16's on the 16x8 Cragars you'd be ok, although you'd proably have to pound the pinch weld which is possibly the easiest modifaction you can do.

You can't beat the look and the price of the Cargars.
