Im wanting to buy new tires for my 99 cherokee im going to buy a bb 2" and black steelies 15".... wondering what would be the biggest size of tires that would fit??????

 

30/950-15 will fit perfect but 31s can be done with trimming

 

I would say some 30" treadwrights and either black cragar soft 8's or V's

 

heres mine... 2" BB with 30s... im going 31s here in a few weeks. 15x8 cragar soft 8s with 4" backspacing

 

30's will fit no prob, 31's might rub might not but it will be close.

 

yeah the 30 inch is your best option unless you want to do some cutting

 

i would put 31 on it. it will be fine now if you want to go to the max i have seen at work a stock 2dr with 32" 11.5 on factory steels they had 1.25" spacers and the fenders cut but dam it looked good

 

Is there a big difference in 30s and the 235s

 

lets see actually no if you get 235x75x15 they are 30" tall
i am getting a set for my mj when i need tires.
i dont know how wide it is though
235 is the width
75 is the lenght and the lenght is taken by 75% of 235

another example

225-60-16 (new focuses)

225 width
60%of 225 is the lenght
16 is the rim


like corvettes are 315 45 20

315 width
45% of 315 sucks!!!!!!!!! super skinny
20 rims

understand

 

yeah thanks for the help

 

i have 235x75x15 and iv been wondering what the inch size of these is. your saying there 30's? iv heard they were only 29's?

 

well i just checked my 235x75x15 and they only measured to be around 27" high...and last time i checked i can read a tape???????

 

All the calculations I have come across say a 235/75/15 is 28.9" tall... but then again most 30x9.50x15 tires.. arent really 30" tall either. So yes there is very little difference between them.

 

Take the weight off the tire and measure again..

 

27" ok idk i just used a website online where you put in 235x75x15 and it tells you the inches and mine came out to like 28.9"
