I have been looking at the tire chart and if I read correctly the only tires sizes for the stock rims 16*7.0 are 235,245/70 245/75. Is that correct? can I run a 235/85? I still am trying to decide on tires while I wear my firestones down. I had no trouble with my 245/70s before I put any lift. Now I have 2.5 lift and want a larger tire. I have asked and hear everyone saying the 245/75 but is that really the best or just easy? I don't mind a little rubing but I don't want to cut my bumps.

If you don't want to cut your bumber I'd stick with 245/75's.245/75's are 30.5" tall,265/75's are 31.5" tall,and 235/85's are 32" tall.I rubbed like crazy when I first put the 265's on my KJ,had to hack alot of the front OEM bumber off,235/85's will be way worse.Then again BS has alot to do with it to.
