had 30 inch mud rovers on a 2wd cherokee and didnt rub at all but rubbed a little on my 1990 4x4 laredo. but now its 4.5 inches higher

 

what do they really measure tho? go on tire rack and it will tell you how tall they really are....

 

I've got 30x9.50 on my '98 with no lift. Had to trim the front bumper end caps & front flares a little.

One more question, I already know im probably not gonna get tires cuz my grandparents (the people nice enough to buy me my jeep) would absolutely KILL ME if i put a lift kit on, and tires are a bit expensive so I'll see if I can talk them into letting me get either 225, 235, or some 30's. And for some reason whenever I cut my wheel all the way and make a turn at only 5 or so MPH my tires squeal and leave a skid mark, why does it do this? Im still running on stock tires. Something kind of michelin's

 

Good luck, hope you get your big tires I am trying to figure out how big i can go without cutting or lifting anything, either.

 

My 31" rub the lower control arms at full lock. Thinking about swapping over to Wj LCA's.

 

Update - dip caught me by surprise yesterday. Right rear knocked my fender flare loose.

 

I run 235/75/15's on my 90. Looks pretty good, not as good as monster tires, but still...

 

Easy bud...

We are not NAXJA, and never will be! Comments like this should be kept to yourself!

 

To the OP. My advice is to put the right sized tire under it, and save your money up for your build. When you do this, you want to do it once, trust me. LOL!! Buy a quality kit, and no, they are not cheap! When you lift your Jeep to level you want, you can decide to trim or not to trim, and that will determine your tire size. FYI, you will not be able to fit a large tire, without trimming, unless you lift it very high, and you do not want that. I have around 5"s of lift, and mine is trimmed quite a bit, and the pinch welds are beat over, I have stock bump stops, and rub at full stuff front and rear with 33x12.50s. Just an example...

 

THANK YOU!!!

 

My 235's don't rub.

What I am currently running.

 

If i do lift, and thats a big if, I'm only going to do a 2" maybe 3" lift at the most. And I was only hoping to fit 30 or 31 inch tires. I don't want to go overboard with this stuff because it is my main and only vehicle. I only need it for slightly bumpy, rocky and a little bit muddy trails that I use whenever I go fishing and hunting. As of now the stock suspension is a killer, I hit a small pothole or a bump in the road and it feels as if there is no suspension at all. I think i might need new leafs or maybe a bastard pack.

 

Did you trim? and about how big are 235's in inches. this is my first vehicle, im only 16, and im not very good at tire sizes or lifts or anything like that.

 

No trimming.
