Putting 31s on a stock Cherokee.
 
Well I bought 31 inch tires and they will be here soon. The jeep is stock everything. The lift will be coming soon but not before the tires. What do I need to do now that's pretty much free so that it will not rub.
Thanks guys

Cut fenders, and only drive straight.

Should have bought the lift first it looks like !!!!

I currently have 3 flat tires. I needed tires. I knew here in the short future I will have a lift. So I didn't want to spend money to fix these tires then just buy new ones a few weeks after.

No need to do that ....... make some custom 18" wheel spacers for the back, 36" for the front and might be OK.

Need some fender flares to be legal in some states!

Maybe you can get some used tires to throw on while you wait ????

We have used tire places around here that in a pinch offer up good deals.

3o inch tires
 
i put 30 x 9.5 pro comp on stock jeep - no problem- see my profile picture.

i found perfect stock cj rims on craigs list for $100, and while looking found lots of tires and rims that may be your short term plan.

good luck

Find some old tires on Craigslist, run them till you get your lift installed then sell them..


Or park it until you get the lift and 31's installed.

Thanks for pushing me to get it. Now I can't wait!! ��

They'll fit just fine if you cut the fenders.

31x10.5 on factory wheels. Stock suspension with a saggy rear end and cut fenders. Attachment 281289

Not really he still need the proper wheel to go with them and a stock one is not, its a bit narrow . He needs a 15x8" with 3.75-4" of BS for a proper fit to not hit the frame or LCA's. Luckily steel wheels can be bought as little as $40 a wheel. If you rush into things it usually costs you even more money in the long run.


Do it right the first time and I had to trim with that combo of 31x10:50 to keep from rubbing when flexing as most all do finally.
