Tire Fitment Guide
Category: Articles
One of the most common questions we are asked is, “What is the biggest size tire that I can fit on my Jeep?” Everybody wants to have that big tire look and they all want to do it as cheaply as possible. Who wouldn’t, after all money doesn’t grow on trees and Jeeps sure do suck up the money. If you can get by with only a 3″ lift to run 33’s then power to you and your wallet.
There is also a trend these days to use as little lift as possible to maintain a lower center of gravity which is important in rock crawling. The days of 8″ super lifts are coming to an end. People realize now that if you use a smaller lift, your rig will be much more capable on the slopes. To help you out with choosing the right size tire for your Jeep we have provided you with this tire size chart for Jeep vehicles. Use it as a general guide to finding the right tire for you although your results may vary because every vehicle is a little different. You might not get as big of a tire on your vehicle if your springs have sagged a little and you might get a bigger tire in if you re willing to cut a little sheet metal or change to an after market wheel with better backspacing. This chart will give you a good place to start though.
