Hi,
I am new to the board and I am sure this question has been asked before but I could not find it. I just got my first cherokee and am looking to get some MT tires. Just wondering what is the the largest/widest tire I can get on the stock rim and not worry about clearance.

Thanks in advanced

It depends if you have a lift or not. I beleive stock height on 16" rims can fit up to a 235/70/r16 which comes out to about a 30" tire

 

Stock rims are 15x7 so you the largest tire you can run is a 10.5 tire.
I would stick with 235's though, 30's may rub a bit.

 

how tall is the 235?? im an american so i dont use metrics enough...

 

A 235/75/r15 is right around 29 depending on the manufacture of the tire.

Thanks, I was hopeing to get a 31x10.5x15 on there?? IF not I will go with the 30x9.5x15

 

I had those size tires (31's) on stock aluminum jeep rims but also had a 3 inch lift and had no problems rubbing... but they did fit on the rims...Tj

 

OK so will a 30x9.5x15 fit without a lift on a stock rim

 

30x9.50x15's will fit on stock rims and will rub slightly on the lca when you go full lock.

 

I had my 30x9.5xr15 bfg a/ts on mine when it was stock with no problem. I have a 91 laredo with a factory tow package. Then I put my lift on and no need to buy bigger tires. lol ( for now)

I have and 88 with the factory 10 spoke rims that were popular then. I am running BFG 31 10.50 15 MTs Without any issues of them being to wide for the rims, they don't bow in the center and they where even.

 

The '84-'96 XJ's tend to never have issues running a wider tire (30x9.50) when stock. For some reason the '97+ years rub on the LCA's very lightly at full steering lock with the same tire. Not sure why, but I know it happens to a lot of guys with '97+'s.
