I've got 245x70x16s on my '97 ZJ. I do have the factory Up-Country suspension though.

There's plenty of room, but I don't go off-road. They rub a little on the LCA when turned full lock.

I'm not sure a bb lift wold cure that. I may just go to 235's. That would about correct my speedo and keep things where the tranny will let me tow my bike in overdrive.

Thanks for posting the pic. I think yours sits a little higher than mine.
