Ok, let me rephrase and be as specific as I can.
I'm thinking about 245/75/16 or 255/70/16 on stock rims for Jeep Liberty 3.7 GAS which will be lifted 2'' on Ironman kit (springs, shock absorbers).
The car is only for town, road, no offroad whatsoever. It is my wife's baby.
It has been fully reconstructed (new panel, doors, chroms, paintwork, light-bar etc.) Looks like new! I want it to look as cool as possible
255's would look nicer I think.
If there will be some rubbing at a full turn (lock) - no problem I can live with that. But of course it can not rub on every single bump, let's be reasonable
Should I go for it? (rememeber - stock rims).
I would say go for it!!!!
I have the Ironman springs/Bilstein struts & shocks on my Liberty diesel and I am running 245x75R16's all terrains on factory stock wheels and have absolutely no rubbing of any kind.
Ironman Springs, Front: JEEP014C, Rear: JEEP015B
Bilstein Struts/Shocks, Front: 24-139168, Rear: 24-139175
I do have a 1/2" clevis spacer on front struts to help with the heavier weight of the diesel engine!
I got about a 2.5" lift out of this setup! Rides and handles great!
With your gasser, if you run these springs minus a clevis spacer you should be just fine with the 245x75R16's on stock wheels I would think since you have less engine weight.
But I certainly defer to any advice by TMud and / or TJ as they have lots of experience with raising gassers, tire selections, etc....
