Jeep YJ 15 x 7s on a 2002 Liberty
Any issues with putting a set of 15 x 7 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) alloy rims on an 02 Liberty? Tires are 235/75/15 the rims are OEM Jeep 5 spoke alloys.

should be no problem since they have the same bolt pattern, and the 235/75/15 is no larger than the largest tire that can fit on a non-lifted KJ (245-70/16)

IIRC the 15's will not clear the brake calipers.

you are right, I guess only a few 15" wheels will fit without interfering with the brake calipers.

15" vs. 16" Wheels

With a 17" wheel there is a limited selection of all-terrain tires available. A popular upgrade for the lifted Liberty is stock 16x8" Jeep Wrangler Rubicion wheels (Moab Wheels) with 5" of backspacing and 245/75R16 Goodyear MTR Tires. The Liberty's stock 16x7" wheel can fit a 10.5" wide tire with no problems. Only a few 15" wheels can fit on the Liberty without interfering with the brake caliper. Some other choices are the Rock Crawler Xtreme Steel Wheels with a backspacing of 4.5" or 3.75" or Cragar Wheels with 4-4.5" of backspacing. A backspacing of under 4" will work, but is not recommended because rubbing on suspension components may occur.

Would the 15" wheels work if you use wheel spacers?
