I've got a 96 XJ Country with 225 75 15 tires on the stock Country mesh style wheels and wondered how big a tire I can run on these wheels? Ever since I raised the rig it looks a bit funny with these tires. 31's?

Iv got 35x12.5x15s on stock steel wheels. Just used a 5/16th spacer in the back to clear the leaf springs.

The only thing you need to worry about is width as far as mounting the tire to the rim. I wouldn't go over a 10.5" wide tire on a 7" rim and that's pushing it. After that all you need to worry about with mounting the wheel/tire combo on the vehicle is the offset and the tires rubbing when turning/flexing. This can be compensated for with spacers.

Don't go crazy with the spacers. They compromise the clamping force of the studs and nuts.

Yeah the widest most shops will mount on a 7" wheel Is a 10.5

Glad to hear I can go this big...now to decide if 31 or 33 with 3" raise will be good or better. The rig is a DD in the winter and not much offroad if any.
