I was looking at wheels online and found a set that I have decided I am definitely going to get when and if funds allow. (Unfortunately right now that is a pretty big if) I know the bolt pattern is coorect, but the I don't know if the offset or backspacing would work. Here is the link:

Has anyone ever used these on a liberty? If so pics would be appreciated. I have always loved these wheels and they seem to look great on any car. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dez

17x8 4.5" backspacing would fit fine, depending on the tire size and lift or modification to the fender well. tires are also gonna cost you a little more then what most people run on a 16" or even 15" rim.

Thanks. I figured tires would be more expensive. I like the look of bigger wheels though. Eventually I would like to do the whole lift/wheel/tire combo but the lift will probably have to wait awhile since I would like to do it right with a JBA. I just really don't like the stock wheels. Ugly color (at least against the red body), and too skinny. To me it looks like I'm rolling around on pizza cutters. :?
