Default Tires?

Hey guys i was just wondering how big of tires can i fit on a stock (not lifted) 97 grand cherokee?
Cause I'll be needing new ones before winter and I want to get the biggest ones i can fit (without rubbing of course)

Thanks!!

Im not sure but I have the same model and I went and asked around at local shops and they said that i could fit a 265/75/15 and I would be close. These others guys on here would really know though. Thats what I was told. But if anything buy a $200 3in body lift and slap some 31's on it. Thats what I thought about doing. But I want my super flex kit.

You can't put a body lift on a ZJ they are unibodies, and you should be able to put 30" tires on without a lift

I have 235/75/15 on my ZJ and they are 29 inches tall. They were on it when I bought the Jeep and they did not rub.

I don't have any pictures of my Jeep before it was lifted with the 29's. All I have is some pics with 29's and 3 inches of lift.
