I have the 2016 75th Anniversary Edition that came stock with 18 inch rims. I kept the rims and put 255/55 18 BFG KO2s on her. No rub before the lift (which I am hoping to get installed tomorrow).

I see that only the 17 inch rims have been listed in the posted chart. Thought I would provide real life 18 inch info for you as well.

I have 18" on my limited but the stock tires (225/60R18) seem to have lot of room for much bigger tires, but I am having hard time wanted to replace my MICHELIN Premier LTX .

Anyone know how much bigger I can go not wanted to go to a 17" rim for future purchase? :grin:

Is there an update to the file from the first post?

So I will be honest and admit I skimmed this thread and didn't read every post in great detail....

With that being said, It bothers me that so many are responding to if a tire size will or will not fit without rubbing and not inquiring about if they have aftermarket wheels or are running spacers that change the offset and therefore the scrub radius.

I have read over and over that 265/65r17s will fit without rubbing, but I can tell you they absolutely WILL if you are running spacers.... We trimmed a BUCH of the pinch seam and still have some rubbing when we hit a bump and are on partial turn. You can see what we did to make the 265s fit HERE. NOTE: we also have lifted it, not that rubbing is greatly impacted by the lift.

If I digress into the lifts.... The 1.25-1.5" from the Aussie or Budget boosts are inaccurate. Unless people are including the larger tires, you are looking at a real world of 1 inch in the front and slightly over an inch in the rear. We have before and after measurements in our install directions HERE.

Looking to do the same thing to my 17 75th anniversary, any issues with those tires? rubbing, noise, handling?

Thanks!

Is this thread officially done or are we still updating? I was wondering the max tire size for ad1 latitude with budget boost lift.

Straight forward answer, appreciate it. This forum is great, but so much information is scattered.

Yeah, I have been researching the tires for a few weeks now, that's why I'm pretty sure. I was hoping the spreadsheet would have included lift and tire sizes but all it shows (at least for me) is just lifts and their materials?

According to my measurements taken with a 245/65/17 tire, and calculating the difference for a 245/70/17, on an AD1 with HS Budget Boost lift and stock trailing arms, you'll be left with a 1/4" gap between your rear tires and the front of the rear wheelwell. That's awfully close for comfort in my eyes, but in theory it should work.

Good call, I realized he didn't say if he had the Trailhawk arms installed.

do you think the Rubicon wheels&tires would fit my stock sup??? or do i have to lift it a bit?? Its a 2014 Cherokee Limtd..

thank you...!!!!!!!!!

Rubicon wheels are the 17s but have a different backspace/offset. The require a spacer to bring them back to the OEM offset. As for tires... the Rubicons come with 32s. You will want a lift and still have a fair amount of trimming to clear them.

Edit to add. You will need spacer/adapters anyway to convert the KLs bolt pattern to the JK/JKU 5x5 pattern.
