Default Whats the biggest tire I can run?

I have a 99 WJ with a 4 inch lift, Rustys Offroad lower control arms, Skyjacker shocks , and teraflex quick disconnects. Right now i'm running stock wheels with a 245/75/16. If I decide to go bigger, how much bigger can I go without rubbing or cutting with the stock wheels?

Believe it or not I have a 94 grand cherokee limited with a 5.2 and 214k on it. I have no lift from what I can tell and I run 31 10.50 on stock wheels. They do RUB at full lock to lock and they do rub some in mild offroading. I did hammer the pinch welds down so that helped alot.

Looks like I'm your man for this one.

I just mounted 33 x 12.5 mud terrains without trimming and they really don't rub unless flexing and turning hard at the same time.
I used to run 32 x 11.5 and those worked just fine as well.

Let me know if you have any questions

*My bad, thought you were talking about a ZJ!*

I think you can run 32's on your 99 WJ with that set up...
Those 4 inch lifts would just be fine... Not sure about 33's though...

You can probably run a 285/70/16 it is 31.7 inches tall or possibly a 285/75/16 it is 32.8 inches tall. Here is a caculator for converting tire sizes from metric to inches (its on the bottom). The other calculators are handy too. http://www.4lo.com/4LoCalc.htm
