245-75X16s stock are going to rub unless you only go to the mall esp. if you want to go with an aggressive tread pattern.
I would stay with a 245 70 X 16 and have some room, on pre 03 s you may be able to get by with them

A 245/75/16 will only make you sit 1/2" to 3/4" higher than a 225/75/16, and will cause rubbing. Is that 1/2" worth the trouble? They also make the Mud Terrain in 235/70/16. Just the more aggressive tread on you rstock or similar size may give you the look you are after.

245/75-16s will rub on the swaybar, the pinchweld, and the foglight door on '02-4s...my '02 is prelowered, and did that with 245/75-16s (although not bad enough to worry about)

stick with a 225/75-16, or lift it. either one

When I bought my 05 brand new I traded in my honda passport. They did the deal without even seeing my passport! :shock: There mistake. Well they gave me two days to turn in the passport when I drove the KJ home. In the mean time I swapped the 245/75 MTRs I had on the passport out with the crapyears that were on the KJ, also I swapped out my red top out of the passport. :twisted: Anyways The 245/75 MTRs rubbed the sway bar slightly at full lock, slighty on the front bumper, and slighty grazed the pinch weld. And in full stuff they rubbed the wheel well liners SLIGHTY. Other than that they were good to go. Definitely made the KJ more manly looking and I love those tires too!! But just remember every KJ is different. You can make those work with very little modification. Hope this helps ya out!

Here are some old pics
