[quote="JFortier777"]Hooray I can genuinely be of assistance to someone!
I had my 265/70/16's on for two months before I installed my lift.

how much rubbing did you have with the 265/70/16s without the lift?

I believe in the dictionary under "rubbing" they put a picture of my KJ.


More Specifically I would rub bad at about 70% turning radius and when I stuffed the rear I would just stop moving.

Suffice to say Its something you don't want to drive with for very long. However; right now its doing some pretty gnarly rubbing as well. Ill take some photos of after lift rubbing and before. They will be up by the end of the night.

You guys are all great! I am debating. I can't decide if I am going to go 225/75R16 right now, or wait 6 months, and go for a frankenlift, with 245/75R16.


From Experience.... I had the same debate with myself.... Plans were to get 245/70-16 ats for my daily driving (2004 renegade - NO RUBBING), then get the Frankenlift , then find some nice Rubicon Wheels/MTRs and use those for wheelin'.
I was advised before on this and was told wait till lift then upgrade tires/wheels.
I did it "my" way and have enjoyed my decision from the begining. Went for the 245/70-16 tires first b4 lift, then got lifted, now upgraded to Rubi Rims/tires. The KJ looks soooo good in them I decided to keep it that way altogether.
So, .... spent $600+ on the Revos and now I'm selling them.
Final advise..... If you are going to keep the Stock rims with ATs at 245/70-16s and find other setup after lift, then go for it. If you plan NOT to keep your original rims with the 245s, then wait till lift then upgrade. My bet..... you will never want to go back on the stock rims / 245/70-16s
my 2 cents.

I put Toyo 255/65R16 AT's on my Sport and there's absolutely no rubbing with normal use. I have yet to try off road but I'm sure they're going to rub. Gotta talk the wife into that 1" lift. I really don't want to go any higher.
