I'm wondering what the biggest tire size on 16" rims with a 2.5 lift will fit on my 03KJ without wheel spacers and rubbing of the fenders. 295/75r/16?? i am hoping to put 30's or 35's but i don't think it will work without rubbing.... Thanks to all who have answers!!! :)

Those will not come close to fitting. 245/75R16's are a good fit with 2.5" of lift. Anything bigger will require a lot of trimming. Even with 245's, you may need to pound the pinch weld flat and trim behind the fog lights.

Look in the tire and wheel section. Info you seek is stickied at the top of the page.

35's?!?

You'd have to do an SFA for that.....the front diff is only rated for a 32.... :cry:

The front diff isn't "rated" for anything...

You increase wheel and tire combo weight and size at your own risk...
