Largest tire size to fit on unlimited wheels?
« on: September 10, 2006, 05:25:00 PM »
I tried to take a short cut in upgrading my 2002 SE and bought some take offs from a jeep unlimited. These are 15X8 with the standard 30X9.50. Has anyone else put larger tires on this set up? I think that even 31X10.50 are going to rub. If someone else could tell me there experience I sure would be greatful!!!! Sorry if this question has been answered a thousand times but I did search before I posted this.

Largest on the wheels themselves?  Well you can put a 37x12.5R15 on those wheels.

I read it again and I think he's got a stock Jeep.  If that's the case then 31's are the limit with minor rubbing.

I have 30s with stock suspension atm
Had to replace the sway bars because the tires rubbed them (when I had the steering wheel turned all the way one way) and ended up breaking them over time.. I replaced them with some longer ones and it solved the problem though and hopefully they'll work with a 2" lift too.

Ya'll assumed correctly. I was asking what would fit under my stock TJ.
I'm sorry I was not very clear on the details.

Not necessarily, most rubbing is from contact with the control arms or swaybar and not the fenders.
