Looks great!!!

Are you happy with the 255/70's, after you put then on with the lift? Do you get any rubbing? I was thinking of going with the same size if I ever get lifted. I know they're a little smaller then the 245/75's everyone is running, but they're very close and also a little wider. My only concern was they may look small on a lifted KJ, but I guess they don't.

Also, could you post a side pic of your Renegade with the white Sport, with one infront of the other, so we can really see the difference?

That does look like a good tire size! I wonder if a 265/70R16 would fit... I was thinking of going to a wider tire after reading a C&D article comparing the Toyota FJ, Hummer H3, and Nissan XTerra to the KJ, and noting that their tires are 285 and 265 widths, whereas a stock liberty is 225.

For anyone reading that doesn't know, a 245/75R16 is 30.5 inch diameter, 255/70R16 is 30.1 inch, and a 265/70R16 is 30.6 inches. (265/75R16 is 31.6in)

The the white one was mine but I sold it to my dad so I could get a 4x4. He loves it BTW

I'll try to get some more pics but it's dark right now.


The tires are great! They ride great and are very quite. Yes I do get some rub at FULL lock... and I do mean full lock. It rubs on the sway bar and in my case AL's upper A arms.

The first thing you will have to do though, is trim the front air dam. (the black plastic thing that hangs down in the front. It's not lot to trim a little bit.

in case you haven't figured it out by now we can run a 265 75 16 with enough lift and some trimming. but im almost certain you knew that. :lol:
