Gren, you have 16" rims.
First number: width in milimeters (245)
Second number: aspect ratio compared to the first number (75)
Third number: rim size (16)
245/75/16 is what i and most lifted kks and kjs run

My time has come to change my tires.... I own a 2008 Liberty Limited model and I was thinking on putting a little and inexpensive lift like the 2" Daystar Lift. My question is if a 245 75 R17 will fit...? has anybody tried this tire size before? they are actually 2" bigger than stock so if I do my calculations right, their should be no problem at all.... what do you guys think? |

They will probably rub. I would try 235/75/17. |

This site may be helpful to you. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos Try looking around in the tire section to see what other people with the 17" limited wheels are running. |

They'll fit. You might have to do the pinch weld mod. |

depends too if you have any sag. the daystar is only working with your existing springs so you may not see a full amount of lift. 245/75/16s are roughly a 30.5" tire give or take with brand and design. |

I don't see any sag, maybe a little with a full tank. Here's some tires I found. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... Clar=Sport |

Ive heard a lot of good things about the gy silent armors and I would probably get them if I had the $$. Instead I will be putting on those general at/2's before winter starts up again |
