Need Help Finding Bigger Tires
I currently have Goodyear Wrangler SR-As (P245/75/R16). My Jeep has a 2" lift, so the current tires look really small. They need to be replaced, so I'd like to replace them with bigger tires. I'd like to go with a 33" all-terrain tire (I think 35" tires will rub unless I cut my fenders, which I don't want to do). Maybe something from BF Goodrich, Bridgestone or Goodyear. But I don't know what size to look for. The numbers are confusing!
What will fit on my Jeep?

Whatever tire site you are looking at will have a specs list for the tire. Generally it goes from smaller to bigger in one rim size, then smaller to bigger in the next rim size, etc. Look to the right on any specific tire and it should also list the standard measurement in inches.
Or, search on 'metric tire conversion' or 'metric tire calculator' in whatever browser search engine you use. Find one, plug in the metric size, and it will spit out the standard size in inches.

Try this website. You can compare tire sizes & view tire by brands. My $0.02 is to check out Nitto Terra Grappler2's & Goodyear Duratrac
Good luck

I like the Wrangler Duratracs, but they are a bit too expensive and they look more off-road than I need. Most of my driving is on pavement.
I do see the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires though... they seem to be more of what I'm looking for. I'm looking at the LT295/75R16 size. That's a 33.4" tire. Think it will work?

I'm running them with 1.5" spacers on stock steelies

So you're using 1.5" wheel spacers? Do you have any rubbing at all?
Also, my spare no longer fits on my spare rack on the back of the Jeep. Any suggestions for this?
Thanks
