Look at the top of the Tires & Wheels forum. There is a sticky thread that has a chart w/ max tire sizes etc. Also if you use the search function you'll find all the answers you need most of the time. I think about the biggest tire you're gonna be able to fit with that lift is probably a 32x11.5. And yes you can put those on stock rims.
 






can n e body get some great deals on tires...or can point me in the right direction??
 






tirerack ahs cheap tires online... but you cant tell them its for a ford explorer... just tell them its for your jeep
 






Digger196 had an X round that yr with tt/shackle and 2 inch PA BL. hes got 32-11.50-15's on blk rock krawlers....until he totalled it apparently....RIP
 






I've only got a 2" PA lift and clear 265/75/16's (31.8x10.50's) no problem.

The only rubbing I get is at almost full lock the insides of the tires rub the front swaybar. I'm pretty sure the new rims I got don't have a deep backspacing though.

When My Air Ride is in "offroad" The front tires don't rub the sway bar and I haven't rubbed yet and I've done some crazy stuff.
 






kool kol thanks guys...
