Default ZJ owners tire help

Whats the biggest set of tires i can put on a 95 ZJ without shaving any fenders down? I live in Massachusetts and want to avoid shaving because of salt and rust corrosion in the winter time but want to throw bigger tires on it.

help a new kid out!

If it's stock you can clear a 30 or 31 depending on the tire, just because it says a size on the sidewall doesn't always mean it's that size just close. Both of those sizes will rub just a little when turning and if you try to flex it out.

i was planning on doing a lift. i just wasn't sure if i would still be restricted by the size of my wheel wells or fenders. was doing research and noticed a lot of people shave the fenders to make more room.
