I really like those!! What did you pay for them? Great find!

 

Thanks! I actually looked everywhere for them for a long time and found them on Christmas Day on Craigslist for $200 for the set. The guy lived about 10 minutes from my house. They have them on Ebay for about $100-150 each but most postings say "stock picture" so you really don't know what you are getting.

 

Those look awesome!

 

Those are one of my favorite stock Jeep wheels, and they look awesome on your 'Riot!

Do they center on the hub or the lugs?

 

Nice find!

 

Thanks Todd. I got curious and searched the Patriot and Liberty center bores.

Center bore for a Patriot is 67.1 and Liberty is 71.6, I am now wondering why the wheel was difficult to pull off when I had done the initial test fit.

 

Any rubbing?

No, I went with a 215 wide 28" tire to avoid transmission issues and premature wear on my suspension. Wheels and tires are pretty much the exact size of the my 17" wheels and stock SR-As.

With the 40mm offset, the 7" Liberty wheel backspacing is a little over 5.5", it was a little over 5.25" on the stock 17X6.5 wheels with the same offset. The extra 1/4" of back spacing did not make a difference at full lock.

 

Nice! I just got new tires, but when I need tires down the road, that's a tempting option for me to consider

What a great find. They look really sharp with the general tires! I like this a lot.

 

thanks so much for posting this. i bought the same pair but powder coated black and was scared they would not fit. but i will prob get 30" bfg km2

 

No problem, that is going to look really good! I'm pretty sure that you will probably need spacers with a tire that tall and wide.

 

as everyone scrambles to craigslist to look for a set...

Personally I don't think they look that good, maybe you should just give them to me lol

I see what you did there...clever anti-like ninja mind trick!

 

can't blame me for trying, right? How are those tires on the road Oblade?

 

nice rims.
does anyone know the oem part no for those?

 

Pretty sure this is it:

Since I´ve seen those wheels mounted on older Jeeps like 90´s and 97+ XJ´s I guess they have the same bolt pattern that the patriots , Right?
Im asking cause I have this weird idea of testing my 16" moab 2005 rubicon Wheels ,Also have an extra set of liberty wheels and tires , but I wonder wich will be the top size I can throw in 16" wheels like the ones I´ve mentioned? By the way I own a 08 Patriot

I have a set of 16" Moabs from 2006 TJ. I plasti dipped them the same week I got them. No issues for the last year. The only thing I got was some some bore hub rings as Patriot has 67.1" bore and Moabs 71.5. This way the rims sit tight and don't vibrate.

 

...

Also I´ve been reading a lot about caliper rubbing issues when swaping to othe wheels
did you had that problem with your Liberty wheel set?

Sorry, I haven't logged in in a while. The Liberty wheels clear the calipers and there have not been any issues with rubbing.

 

Just a quick question, is the liberty center bore a bit larger at 71mm instead of the 67 on Mk's, was there any issue centering it on the hub?

 

You could always do hub centric runs, going from 71 to 67.1

Exactly! That's what I did. I had to custom order them on eBay.

 

i installed the same rims but powdercoated black

the tire rub just slighty at full lock, but that is because i am running 29.3" tires. i was planning on running spacers soon anyway.

 

Hi oblade21

I was looking at your Patriot sitting there in big ole Texas, those Jeep liberty rims looked mighty great on your patriot., I have a black patriot as well, I want that look as (not to be a copy cat but i like it the rims they really suit the patriot stance.

What brand and part # of hub rings did you use to support the rims? & Was the use of wheel spacer absolutely necessary to prevent tire rubbing up inside of the wheel-wells (on hard turns)

Do you know the Part # for those specific Jeep liberty Rims

thanks for sharing your photos.
