Default Hi I'm new here have a question/opinions
New to me 1998 limited Question/opinions. I was thinking of doing Rustys 2" lift with springs and add a leafs and shocks. I found a set of 2011 grand Cherokee 18" wheels with 265/60s on them. Obviously have to get adapters which I'm fine with. Do you guys think everything should fit fine. This will be my cruse around jeep. I have a 97 wrangler I have been building for over ten years that's my wheeler. Seems like every one says we're there from so I live on the south shore of Massachusetts happy jeeping.

If the diameter of the tire is any larger than a 30 x 9.50 x 15, I think you'll have tire rubbing issues.
