Hey everyone Im new on here and just got my first car its 97 grand Cherokee laredo Its got some issues but I'm working them out. My biggest concern is the mileage though. I'm right at 214,500. I plan on buying another I6 but its gonna be awhile before I can. But anyways I got it with 31s on it but they rub should I go back to the stock tire size or just get some wheel spacers?

Grand cherokee, so coils all around.
My first jeep was a ZJ, I got it from my dad with 231,000 on it and it ran beautifully until I hydro locked and bent pushrods at 245,000.
To clear 31x10.5's I put in homemade 2" spacers that I made on a lathe in my high school machining shop. I also trimmed my front bumper with a sawzall. I would recommend shocks too, but you really don't need them.
