Default tires on stock rims/ new bumpers

just got a stock 2008 2 door x ... was wondering which tires i should put on the stock 16 rim without lifting it.

and also was considering switching front and rear bumpers to a tubular bumper.

if you aren't planning to lift your jeep, you can really only run a 32" tire or the metric equivalent without any rubbing issues. you can run 33's but, you will see some minor rubbing at a full turn and when off roading.

bumpers are a personal thing I don't like tubular but its your jeep. There are lots a bumper choices out there.
Tires that fit without rubbing are
265/75/16 32x10.50
255/85/16 33x10.00
235/85/16 32x9.50

This is a general guideline some fit larger 285/75/16 (33x11.5) with little to no rubbing.

welcome to the forum and if you have more questions ask or search we all are happy to give an "opinion".
