Im putting a 2inch lift on my 2005 liberty. I have stock 16 inch rims. Someone has 265/70/17 General Grabber AT2 mounted on grand cherokee limited 17" rims. How bad would it rub or would it not work at all? |

"IF" the bolt patterns are the same, how bad would they rub with the lift? From the tire size caculator online it was 265/70/17 which is 31.6inches. Im running 245/75/16 now at 30.5inches? Thanks again |

Moved to the Tire/Wheel section... IF the Bolt Pattern and Back Spacing are is correct... It is the same size as a 265/75/16, which is the largest size you can really run. Even on a frankenlift I had rubbing and major trimming required to run. On a Rusty's lift.... |

I plan on pounding the pinch welds and a bumper trim, just wanted to do everything at one time. |

Hate to tell you but with the Rustys I would say no. Having installed a couple of these I know how they settle, If you do it install at least 3 or so conduit nuts for a clevis lift and that may not do it. |

No problem. I just wanted to know. Guy was going to give me a good deal if it would work. Ill try and stay with my current 245/75/16. Thanks again -Zack |

I know that the one Rustys I did he lives close by and I do work on it quite a bit, he has had rubbing issues with the 245-75s so I know that no way could he do the 265-75s without a ton more work, i.e. more lift, more cutting |
