Default shoes- wheels and tires

hello

I have a 2001 grand Cherokee limited. I currently have stock shoes on mine. looking to upgrade on wheels and tires and just wanted some advice. I plan on lifting my jeep with
the WJ Grand Cherokee 2.5" Basic Kit Code: RK-250B-WJ Price: $379.00 on rustys.com. I was wanting to know what size tires and rims i should go with. I don't want my tires to rub. I also want a beast looking offroad tire like a nito or something. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks-
Zach D.

Idk uch about grand cherokees but if you dont mind trimmin your fenders put 33s under her that will give it a mean stance. but be sure to bumpstop correctly

its pretty much a rubber piece that goes inside your spring that when articulated it hits the axle stoping the tire from going to high up into your fenders

i have never heard of them and im glad you mentioned it. you learn something new everyday. i am wanting to do a lot to my jeep and the wheels and tires, fender flares are going to be first. I know what flares i want. I just need to figure out what wheels and tires im wanting my jeep to ride on. A jeep has to have beast looking shoes.
thanks again

Exactly lol. I have 15x8 rims and 33 bfg all terrains but I want either Goodyear duratracs or Goodyear km2s kevlars I heard both are really good tires and are quiet on road but are pretty aggressive so look into those maybe
