Default GC WJ 2004 tires with bb

Hi is there somedy that have a 2" coil spacers on GC WJ that can tell me the biggest tire size (in 255 or 265) that fit with stock 16" rims ? I don't want any rubbing even at full flex .

Thanks a lot!

My 2004 GC Overland came with the up country pkg. and 17" wheels stock was P235/65R17, I am running P255's on it now.


On edit go to OME web site and look to see what they say for tire size with their 2" lift kit, that is the kit I would use also to keep the ride quality.

Oddly rough country suggest the same size tire I already have on my stock suspension, 245/70R16. I had as big as a 265/70R16 with minimal rubbing on lower front inner fenders, but that was on flat ground. They looked sick on my Jeep but I plan to wheel and don't need my tires modifying my body for me.

I had 245/75/16 on my 2004 on stock rims, no lift, no rubbing. Now 2.5 lift, wider wheels with more back spacing and 265/75/16, occasional rub on the left side downhill turning right, inner fender well. will wait to see what the new bumpers do for me. I did have to trim plastic in the inner fender well to keep from hooking it and ripping the whole thing out. I also have the bump stops set for very little up travel.
