This thread is a discussion about lift kits and tire sizes for the Jeep Cherokee KL. Here's a summary of what size tires fit with and without lift kits: * **Stock Trailhawk:** 245/70R17 tires generally fit without rubbing, though some minor rubbing at full lock is possible. Some users have run 265/65R17 with no rubbing. Duratracs in 245/70r17 also fit. Load range E tires in this size may be too stiff for the vehicle and could cause improper wear. * **Lifted Cherokee (non-Trailhawk):** With a budget boost lift, 245/70R17 tires are a common choice. Some trimming or liner adjustments may be needed. 245/75R17 may require pinch weld trimming and adjustments to the fender liners. * **Lifted Trailhawk:** With a 1.5" lift, 265/65/17 tires have been reported to fit without rubbing in normal driving. 255/70/17 tires fit with a 1" lift and no rubbing. 235/80R17 tires have been used with a Dobinsons lift and minor pinch weld removal. Keep in mind that tire specs can vary between manufacturers, so always check the actual diameter and width of the tire before purchasing. Also, wheel spacers and aftermarket wheels can affect tire fitment.

A tire size column would be great. And along with that, tire sizes for the lifts with and without spacers might be valuable info for users.
