Just bought 05 Liberty, would like to swap tires

[iturnrocks]

I just bought an 05 Liberty sport v6 4wd, which has 265/70R16 tires on it. I would love to swap the tires from my Nissan Frontier which are Goodyear wrangler SilentArmor 265/70R16. How much of a problem do you think that would be, and if so, what could I do to minimize the problem?

I dont go rock climbing or anything, but I do drive down dirt roads in the rain sometimes, and the current tires look like car tires to me.

Thank you

it would be no problem
pull the tires and rims from the KJ
put them into the P/U bed
go to tire shop
have them swapped
reinstall rims and tires on KJ
going to cost you a good deal of money ,probably in the $200 range
5 tires at $20 each for mount and balance X 2 sets

all this is assuming the KJ already has a lift
which you said it has 265/70's so it must

So you bought a Lifted KJ already? You'd need a 2.5" lift to fit 265/70R16's on a KJ.Or do you mean your KJ has 235/70R16's on them? If so you would need a lift to fit 265/70R16's on it and alot of trimming.

Yep, my fault. the liberty has 235/70R16 on it. the frontier has 265/70R16.

and Im usually so good at previewing my post, sorry.

Yep then you will need a lift first before you can fit 265/70's on it.

Agreed, fitting the 265's will take some lift and trimming.

at minimal lol. I am really glad to move away from the 265's and drop to the 245's!! Stellar difference in regards to rubbing and being able to actually allow articulation.
