Tallest Tire for a 99 with Stock Suspension? - North American Grand Cherokee Association

Schultzie · 06-29-2012, 04:54 PM

The 99 Laredo 4.0 I just picked up two months ago has stock wheels and 225/75R16 street tires. I have one down to the wear bars already, and would like taller, more agressive tires anyway, so I'm looking for the tallest size I can fit with no rubbing with the stock suspension. I looked through the threads, and didn't see the answer.

Thanks,
Scott

Throw on some LT245/70R16 BFG A/T's, they are the equivalent of a 30x9.50 and will make a huge difference in traction. I ran the 30x9.50r15 on my first ZJ when I bought it stock back in 1999 and loved them.

I have 245/70/17s on my non UC. It rubs a little on the front of the inner fender, just enough to rub the dirt off
