235/75/r15. 30's may rub because 97 and newer have smaller wheel wells, but they can work.

Pre 97 can get away with 30's with no rub.

you can fit what ever size tire you want on a stock Cherokee. it all depends on how much u wanna cut out? i have seen 40's on a stock xj, it looks really weird like tonka truck, but it can be done.

If you do not plan to wheel for now or use longer bumpstops, 30s might be alright. But 235's should fit no issues.

might wanna change that order to 31x10.5R15's then, they are proportioned perfectly with a 3 inch lift, wont rub at all if you have stock wheels

Just save ur cash and hold off for a 4.5" and 31-33" tiers. U will want it there anyway so why waste the $ on what u don't want.
