Try willtheyfit.com, you enter in your existing tire/wheel info and the new tire wheel info and it will tell you just about all you nee to know including how much it will put your speedo out. Unfortunately it only works with P sizing so to use SAE sizing you have to convert it to P

I wasn't being a dick. Most of those images are from forums, if you follow them back to where their posted from you can read the whole back story from the actual owners prospective.

Default 2" Budget Boost, How big of tires?

I recently installed a 2" budget boost on my 01 xj. I am looking at buying larger tires but was wondering what is the biggest I can go without any rubbing? Will these work? (245 x 75 x 16") Thanks i am new to all of this but really enjoying it!

Pass. Those Chinese tire companies use back rubber compounds. The price can be tempting, but you'll be replacing them far more often than you'd like

You'll be fine. That'd be a 30.5 x 9.5 x 16 in flotation sizing

Maybe not on those rims though. Are those from a JK?

Good catch. I think they're Liberty wheels.


OP, you'll need to know the bolt pattern and backspacing of those wheels before we can tell you if they'd fit.

Using will they fit dot com they would work out to being about the same height as an average 31" tire, and give you a 10% speedo error if you were running a P225/70R15.

I would guess that if you run a OEM jeep rim you are going to rub the lca and need to do a bit of trimming.

I had the same size on mine with a 3" lift and never had any problems and they equal about a 29.5 to 30" tire

For that question, I suggest you do your own research on them and also consider how many miles/year you put on your Jeep. I've heard a lot of complaints about tread life, but I haven't heard much else about them.


You can also take a look at Treadwright.com if you don't have an irrational fear of retread tires

I think you used a 15" rim and not a 16" rim that makes it a 30.5" tall tire. I did the math again just to make sure I didn't make the mistake the first time.
