Cant find the thread, sorry for repost - tire size with 2"

[satyr36]

I know ive seen a list before. I have a 2" lift in front/back and looking what is the max tire size to get on stock MJ 15" wheels?

 

I think you need to know which gears/rear end I have? NOT SURE

 

Right now I have 235/75/15s

I'd say 31x10.50 would be the max size...I'm running that with no lift, WJ LCAs, but 2" of lift would increase fender clearance (I hit the inner fenders going in this one angled driveway at the local post office). That really isn't much lift, but it would be enough for 31s to not hit the fenders like mine do. And you do know that a lift won't help LCA rubbing issues, right? If they rub at full lock, they'll still rub with a lift. Only cure is to not turn to full lock, or install different LCAs.

Or adjust the steering stops on the knuckle. Just put a washer behind it.

I wondered how that was done...thanks for the pics, looks simple enough!

I saw your pm . If you still want good clearance with 31x10.5 and don't want to replace WJ LCA's ,

than use a 15x8 with 4" backspacing , I don't have any rub with 15x10 , 31x10.5 tire

some plastic trimming was needed , inside the fender . 2" lift needed .

The only time I ever tried that here (New England),

I swear I heard the rusted bolt laugh at me, just before it snapped. :doh:

 

New England washer trick:

hold the washer on the end of the bolt, and weld it to the head. :smart:
