Hey Guys, I have a question about tires and lift spacing.

I have a 2000 XJ with stock 16in wheels a 3inch lift and 1.5in spacers.
I ordered the TOYO R/T 305/70R16 they look great but their a bigger then I expected and I'm worried they'll rub the fenders.

" This image is (NOT MY JEEP) I really wanted mine to look like this build I found on IG.

_QUESTION_
1. Does anyone know what size these tires are in the image below? I'm assuming the wheels are 15 or 16in..
2. Will the TOYO R/T 305/70R16 rub the fenders with a 3 inch lift kit and 1.5 inch wheel spacers?


This is the stance I'm looking for

Here's a close up

Thank you!

Put in new tire and old tire size to see the difference. I'd probably guess 33s on that Jeep.

I run a 3.5" Lift with 265-75-16 and will get an occasional rub but it can be easily controlled. I would assume a 33x12 tire would rip the bumper end caps clean off and they will rub in the slightest of off camber situations, like turning into a driveway. Spacers will help clear the control arms but not the bumpers end caps and rear radius of the fender flare.

 

Hey Randy,

Jeep looks great man!!!

Thanks this really helps!! I'm returning the 305/70R16 they're way too big for the clearance I have.

Getting 17 in wheels with Nitto Ridge Gripper 265/65R17. Wheel & tire hight should be a little lower then yours don't you think?

 

Mine are basically 32x10. The 265/65/17 your looking at is a 31x10. Either one is perfect for a daily driver Cherokee. You wont have any issues with those and won't have to run spacers as long as you extend the steering stop bolts on the knuckles. Though I have noticed that most 17" wheel guys will run 265/70/17 (32x10). Another thing is wheel studs if you're looking at Aluminum wheels, but you're probably aware of that. My steel factory wheel studs were short but sufficient. I installed slightly longer studs in the rear anyway just to have better thread engagement.
