Sure, why not.

Whether you will need to do what every one else running larger tires would do, to run larger tires...depending on what your jeep looks like now, is another story.

A minimal approach would be a set of cheap rims, 16" x 8-10" steelies with about 3.75" of Backspacing, to provide clearance on inboard components, and a 2" Body Lift to provide uptravel/stufffage room, and it would "work". The 1.5" Spacers would not provide enough clearance for a 14.5" section width tire in most cases.

Depending on your axles, tranny and t-case, love of blingier/lighter rims, etc...you might feel new alloy wheels or diff gears are desirable, and a 2.5" BB for example might be in the cards, etc....but those would all be desirable, rather than mandatory. If you wanted it to fit for the least $....the BL/Steelies is your bogey.

That's an interesting size. Who makes 'em?
