Post subject:  Correct tire size with lift
Hi there, I'm Chris from Cape Cod Massachusetts I have a important question I really can't find the answer to.
I have a 2006 Jeep liberty for the tuna half inch lift just put in and I want to keep the Rams and get a larger tire. Along getting larger tire I want to put a 2 inch spacers on the hub as well, with that in mind I went today made an appointment at a tire specialist and they put on tires that when the jeep was moving they would rub slightly. I think the number was 275 6517.

I'm looking for a more aggressive looking tire, functional in the winter without a doubt, able to take it on the beach and also comfortable enough to ride the highway.
If some of my message your sounds a little convoluted it's because I really don't know much about figuring out the right tire size.
Again I want to stick with the original rims, I'm heading at 2 inch base her to each wheel and I want a larger aesthetically and functionally better tire if you will. Any comments questions concerns I really need some help here so I know what direction I need to go to have this completed. Prescient your help thanks so much

Not sure what a " tuna half inch lift " is
nor what the " Rams" are ???
BUT I think you installed a 1/2 inch lift and want to run the original RIMS
If so 1/2 inch isn't much, more than likely returned you back to stock height when new
If so you can run " stock size " tires is it
Since the tire they tired to install is 31 inches tall, and you're trying to run 2 inch spacers of course its going to run BAD
To run that size you need at least 3 inches of lift( real lift meaning new springs and shocks)
Also that 2 inch wheel spacer is doing you in, 1.25 maybe ( when lifted but unlifted its bad as well
If you don't want to lift stick with some 29 inch tall tires and be happy

Tuna half? Is that code for some illegal sized mahi-mahi?
