Default Tire sizes

Well here I am again the newbie. But the ? has turned to tires I'm just wondering if I wanted to keep my same stock rims(18) but just put in a 4" body lift what would be an okay size that won't change performance & handling. I was looking at m/t baja radial MTZ but they dont offer 255/70's do I go with the 305 or the 275 or something completely diff. Please help a fellow JEEP out.

Your going to have to spend some time searching here and checking the FAQ is not a bad idea either. With that being said. 4" body lift is not going to be a good idea.. if 305 is all you want for tires... then a 2.5" budget boost will do just fine.

in all honesty body lifts are not the way to go, maybe a 1" but 4" , it raises your COG and the handling goes out the window "my personal opinion" if you want 305's you coulda got a 2" BB
