Grill and Tire size question
I recently bought a 2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo with a 4.0 and am in the process of doing a two inch lift on it. I was wondering how big of a tire this will allow me to go without any rubbing? Im just looking for some All-terrains nothing too aggressive.
Also I have been looking at black grills with thicker vertical bars on ebay (i know not the best place). The grills i come across say they will not fit a Laredo only a limited, is there any reason behind this or is this ebay as usual not knowing what they are talking about.
Thanks

My bone stock mall crawler 2000 WJ is running 245/70R16 General Grabber AT2s and they fill the stock wells pretty much. These are 29.5" dia. They don't rub but get stiff with snowpack. I would think a 10.5 X 30 would be good with a 2" lift. I can't say enough about the AT2s. They are the BEST snow tires I've ever owned and are rated as an all-season.

Im running the 2in budget boost on 30x9.5x15 and in tight spots the tires still rub in the upper fender well in the front.. Im stepping up to a 3in this spring to stop rubbing.

Unlike some jeep models, it's almost impossible to fit bigger tires under our WJ's without a lot of modifications or trimming /cutting. Our wheel wells just don't allow it. I've got a 6" lift and can barely run 33" tires. I've seen guys with JK's fit 37's on only 2.5" of lift!
