Default 30 inch tires
Ok guys I found some 16 inch wheels off of a liberty. I have some 255/70/16
tires.

I have 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport stock height. The tires are 30 tall and 8.1 wide.

Will they fit without rubbing?

That is strange the ones you have are only 10 millimeters wider than stock.so not much taller.

Well I got them on there. I will post a pic not sure if I really like them or not. The factory ones had a inset where these are more flush.

I stayed with a similar profile tire.
