Personally if i had the choice to go back and repurchase tires i'd stick with the stock tire size 225/75/16 but have an aggressive tread like Duratracs, BFG A/T's or Gooodyear Wrangler Territory's. Gageraid stuck with stock size and the BFG's and installed the OME/1.5 Lift. Should keep the fuel economy down compared to larger sizes and still looks good. |

Generally 245/70-16 is the largest you can go without rubbing. You MIGHT be able to squeeze in 245/75-16s. However, that depends on how high you sit, how much sag you have, and the mileage. If you don't luck out, they're going to rub... |

If you have 245-70-16 you might rub at full lock. Mine did till I got new wheels. Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk |

245/75R16's will rub when flexed and when turning on stock ride height. With the 2" lift, there is no rubbing. Note, that I am riding on TJ Moab rims that have different back spacing than a factory KK rim. |

Back spacing would make it worse. I was darn close to hitting while turning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yea not sure I thought the issue with a bigger tire was rubbing on the inside when flexed. I have been reading and some people are saying they fit 245/70s on stock suspension. |

Im still stock height with 245/70R17 which is the same as 245/75R16 because of the rim difference there both 30.5 inch tire according to tire rack. Only rubbing issue is rear driver side which is sagging 3/4 to almost a full inch from factory height and only when i hit bumps at speed on the highway. |
