What tyres will fit?

Post by TUFFRANGIE »

My girlfriend just bought an 01 Wrangler what are the biggest tyres that will fit on it stock as a rock? What will we need to do to fit 32x11.5 mtr's.

We have ordered some American Racing Pythons in 15x8. Should we have gone 7in wide?

Thanks
Rob (& Michaela)

it's good that you got the 15x8 but what backspacing did you order them in?

the cheapesst way to fit 32's on a stock jeep is to get a Body Lift done. But in my opinion you would be better off getting a 2" OME kit as at least that way you can fit 32" tyres and also have increased articulation.

CN is right to fit 32's your looking at at least a 2" lift. There are PLENTY of 2nd hand OME kits floating aorund, we have about 4 here at the workshop.

15x8 rims are the way to go if your looking at a tyre bigger than 10.5" wide, what tyres are you putting on?

Stock as a rock I personaly wouldn't be looking at anything over a 30.5"x9.5" tyre to retain the stock suspension movement.

I work on these buggers everyday so if you want some advice just shot me a PM, even if you want to go out for a wheel with a few local TJ's always good to see a new face ;)
