It looks like your stock tire size is 225/75/r16 and according to this link you can fit 245/75/r16, but this was just the first refferance i could find to stock size.http://www.sizemytires.com/vehicle/2...grand-cherokee

From everything I've read a stock suspension is about at its limits with a 31" tire, and some even rub with those. A 33" tire requires at least 3" of lift and even some fender trimming. A 34" tire will probably need 4-5 inches of lift and some creative modification of your wheel well openings.

I know two guys running that size tire. One on 5" of lift and he had to do quite a bit of bumper trimming and beating the fender wells out to fit them. The other has 6.5" of lift and only had to trim the bumper a little. So to answer your question, no, you cannot fit that size on a stock WJ. 245/75/R16 is as big as you can go on stock. 2" lift will fit 264/75/R16 with a little trimming.

My 275/75r16 experience
Unless you turn very infrequently, love driving hovercrafts, and an extra 2.75" of height is something you cannot live without, you might want to reconsider the 275/75r16's on your 2001.
All the best...

My 00 WJ came with 245/70R16 tires and I tried my friend's 245/75R16's on the front. They rub at full lock on the fender liners. He has a 2" BB.
