If the Liberty wheels are 5 x 100 mm, yes.

Yeah, the old Diplomat wheels. Maybe I should have called them 70's pimp wheels so not to confuse people with "newer" pimp wheels.[sm=lol.gif]

they are among my collection of wheels in the basement. the bolt pattern appears to be the same bolt pattern as the pimp wheels, but im concerned with the depth. the hole in the center of the new wheels is very small, but they have a section cutout in the back,,,ill have to see how they fit; it may need wheel spacers.

Yeah. I saw one yesterday parked outside and I'm pretty certain the bolt pattern will work. The thing that caught my attention was the wheel offset. I don't think the ones on the Jeep would look very good one the Ramcharger anyway, JMO.

I think the design will look good, but the offset is also a concern of mine...but i guess you could say..they were a real "Steal"...so i cant complain about the price...

i thought maybe longer studs, spacers would make them work?

Changing the studs are PIA. You'd be better of taking some old steel rally rims that have been widened to go on there. Can you get the Jeep rims for free?
