| I have a 98 Wrangler TJ with Rubicon wheels on it. I believe they are 16". I just ordered some SkyJacker shocks with the 2" spacer lifts. I was wondering how big of tire I could put on those rims now with the lift. Also, would it still look proportional withe those rims and that lift or should I go to bigger rims? I'd rather avoid that because of the money involved. Thanks for the help and opinions. |
| With two inch spacers on a stock TJ up to a 32" tire should look decent. With a 1" body lift as well you could go as big as 33's and still look and perform well. The Rubicon Rims were 16" at least up until the new body style and personally I wouldn't go any bigger. Real Jeeps that are actually going to be driven off road benefit from having some sidewall to flex. Nothing worse than a Jeep with low profile tires in my opinion. |
+1 lo-pro tires scream help me. |
Right up until you grind the fucking rim up on something, due to having no sidewall protecting it. Then it's the rim that screams. 
|
This may be a stupid question but how do you convert inches to the p-metric (or whatever it's called) measurements? Say if I was looking for a 32"x11.5"...what would the measurements on the sidewall be? |

285/75R16 That is the tire size you will need to go with. The only rubbing will be from the tire hitting the lower control arm on the passenger side. This is caused from the spacers pushing the axle further to one side. if it was anything like mine that is But you can proballly squeeze 33s on it if you want. IMO the rubicon wheel and a 285 looks pretty good. somehow I managed to put a 4" rockrunner superlift/1" bl/ teraflex high clearnance skidpan and some 35x12.50s on it.

Here is a tire conversion chart. Link You can put in the tire size/measurement and it spits out the other formulation. |
