I'm a Jeep newbie

 

Hello newbie! You just asked the most common newbie question a newbie can ask...

Your best bet would be 33" tires. With wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with a correct offset.

35s are doable with trimmed flairs although, I wouldnt do any wheeling unless you want to rip your fenders off.

 

Thanks budro! I could definitely wheel with no problems with though, right? I'm pretty eager to get into hardcore Jeep'n. But for now... I'm the student, and you all are my teachers.

** wheel with 33's.

 

Thanks man! That helped a lot for sure.

 

Would that be a true 33" tire?Most tires today run small.I'd say go with a 35" since most measure anywhere from 33-1/2-34"

 

stock 16" steelies are only 7" wide with 6.25" backspacing so that limits tire size. I would say 265/75-16 (~32") would be a safe bet without doing anything else.

 

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm going to take my time with this decision.

 

On my 08 2 dr. I'm running Toyo AT 285/75/16 stock steel wheels, with 1.5 spidertrac spacers with no problem for 3 yrs.
