Default Help a newbie out! Lol

My question is I'm wondering if I can put some mud boggers on my 96' without having to lift it. I know I'll probably need wheel spacers to avoid rubbing, but I want bigger tires so I can wheel with the best of you guys. And also does anyone have anywhere suggestions? I would absolutely love to put some super swampers on her lol thanks so muchs guys!

even with spacers you cant go higher than 30's
with bushwacker flares and spacers you can probly do 33
but with that much money you might as well lift it for real

I gotcha. Yea I measured the wheel wells at 30" I'm just trying to see if I could get away with a mud tire that would fit. Not an all terrain tire straight mud. Sighs maybe I'll find something... But I know I'm gonna need spacers to avoid the rubbing...

You think that would be enough to not rub or have to cut any of the fender off? The rims I have on it now are off a stock wrangler, they're fifteen inch rims. So I think those tires would fit on the stock jeep rims. Would that be right?

I'm gonna buy two for starts and put them on the back. Maybe test fit one on the frn and check out the clearance there to see if I have any issues.

Not a Grand Cherokee, doesn't belong in GC tech.

Moved to OEM Tech since your asking about tires on a stock height.

And, for what its worth, Super Swamper makes tires in sizes real close to stock. Just because you are looking for a mud tire or a "bogger" doesn't mean its has to be big.
