hey folks...
ive been a member of the board for a few months now, but this last wekend i finally got my long awaited first jeep. Its a 95 cherokee sport with 4x4 and the I6 4.0 high output. I'm thinking of startig offby getting a 2 ich spacer lift and some new tires, then when i get the money I'll buy a real lift... my question is .. what size tires can i reasonably fit with the standard rims?

thanks in advance for the help,
MAtt

This a great thread submitted not to long ago. It has a chart and a couple of opinions that should help you make your decision.

You can go as high on the rims as you wish long as it is a 15" tire and will fit under the wheel wells. The problem is how wide you wish to to go on a standard with wheel. 30's will be no problem as best that I can tell. Good Luck tug
