Default tire size?

I have a 99' Cherokee. What are the biggest tires that I can have without having a lift without scraping (albeit it's coming soon) - thanks

Yep 235/75 they may rub if you turn the steering all the way right or left but you can adjust the sterring controls to not go as far it is simple.

The largest recommended size are 225 Costco would not put 235 on my Jeep so I went to Sears.

I have had BF TA All Terrians 235/75 R15 on my 88'XJ and my current 98'XJ and they are great. and look awesome.

30x9.5 ......no trimming......3 zip screws to remove a bracket that adds a lil extra suport to the fenders up front in front of tires ul know bc it hits when you turn the wheel all the way to each side... remove those and you wont rub .....when in a full turn using all the steering radius like when parking it rubs the unibody the slightest amout....no problems out back as long as your leafs aren't wornout and sagging i never rubbed tire in flex...swaybars connected...
