17" Rims & No-Lift

I actually was asked a couple of questions by a young colleague of mine who apparently has a 4x2 KJ with 17 x 7.5" rims on it (I am guessing this is an '05 - '07 from other things she has said -- like about the widow switch location):

What is the largest tire size she can go without rubbing?

What are her options for tires with the 17 x 7.6" rims?

I have 17"rims bc I have a limited. But I ran 245/65/17 with no rub but it was pretty close to tht pinch weld. So idk how much bigger you can go

Which is basically, "1 size up" since it came with 235/65R17s, right?

yes sir. the only real advantage is prob the width of the tire is wider but its still about the same height

Oh, come on, Mikey, you know that ain't gonna happen. :wink:

She is from a family of Jeep owners from MS. If they wanted her to have a real ORV, they would have given her one of their Wranglers.
