Largest Tire on a Stock Suspension
I was hoping if anyone knew what is the largest tire I can put on my 98 cherokee sport with its stock suspension? I'm trying to get some new tires and I was hoping to upgrade in size, but I don't know how big I can go without starting to rub. If anyone knows I would appreciate the info.

235's look good lol. you could probly throw a 30 at it, a 235 is pretty close anyhow. if you wanted you could try a 31 and if it doesnt fit you could trim the fender. but 30 should fit good. fairly cheep too. or go to 4wd.com and you can find a 2 in lift got about 150 bucks and fit 31's

235's are stock size. atleast they were on mine. an like i posted previously a 30 9.50 r15 would fit good a little bigger than what you have now, less flex room with no lift and still having the fenders uncut.

The largest stock size I was aware of was 225? I got 235's on mine and they fit fine(before my lift), 30's would be ok I think as long as your leafs aren't sagging. I did throw a 2" lift in but I haven't put bigger tires on. Yet...

235's were stock on some models.
30's will fit no problem
31's will fit if you like rubbing
33's will fit if you like trimming fenders
30's will fit no problem
31's will fit if you like rubbing

I just pulled some 265/70/15s out from under my Cherokee today (they rubbed the LCAs) and put them under my Grand (where they also rub!) They work fine except in super sharp turns!
