Ok, by the grace of God, reading Reverend Mudd's scripture and the assistance of M&P40 (Chandler, AZ former KJ owner)... I am finally lifted. By the way the lift is OME Springs, Bilsteins, clevis, top plate, rear spacer by LTT, extended brake lines, Teraflex bumps with hockey pucks.

Here's my dilemna...

I like the stock 17" rims that the '06 Limited has, however, I want to get the tallest/widest tire I can and would rather not switch rims. Reason behind not changing rims is that most everyone swaps out there rims for Soft 8's, Cragars or Moabs... I just want to be a little different than everyone else.

What would be a good size to throw on the Jeep to fill the wheel well, have good diameter and width? I have pounded the pinch welds and trimmed the plastic already.

I currently have 235/75R17s on there as temporary meat, however, they look TINY now...

I appreciate any and all feedback.

Keith

I would love to regear, depending on if I can find a good deal on a set.

If not, I will check out the 245/70s...

Thank you again for all your assistance through the years.
