2012 Jeep Liberty Sport, factory was a p225/75R16


I took my old mamba rims of my KJ and put them on the KK when i got it.
The KJ i ran was a 235/65R17 and rubbed the wheel well.
I had the new spare still when i traded in for the 2012 and ordered the same tires so save some $$ since i had one new...

but i'm looking to go wider and bigger on the KK now since all the tires need replaced...


What size is the largest i can go on stock height with 17"s

I'm looing into Open Country a/t ii and Toyo told me 245/65R17 but that is within the 3% range... just seeing if i can run something wider on my stock height..

Thanks

Your stock 225-75-16s and the 245-65-17s are almost the same height, within 2/10s of an inch or so
The 65 series being somewhat wider of course
