Biggest tires on stock wheels
Hey guys I love the ecco wheels that came on my 99 xj and I was just finished my 3.5" lift and I wondered what the biggest tire I can fit on these tires without wheel spacers.
Thanks!
Thanks!

about 31x10.5 and you will still rub. you can run 33x10.5 on them but you will still rub like mad at full lock and during flexing.

Well I'm on a college budget so would it be worth putting up with smaller tires to run 30s or put up with the rubbing untill I can buy wheels?

you should get treadwright tires and Cragar soft 8s
you could get a set of 4 31x10.5x15 delivered for around $450
and a set of cragar soft 8 15x8 for around $55 a piece
