I`m getting new rims and tires for a 1995 Jeep Wrangler. I was told that the biggest rim size that I could have was 15x8. No one could tell me what the largest tire size was. I do not have a lift kit on my jeep, just standard equpment.

I`m getting new rims and tires for a 1995 Jeep Wrangler. I was told that the biggest rim size that I could have was 15x8. No one could tell me what the largest tire size was. I do not have a lift kit on my jeep, just standard equpment.

30x9.5's will fit but only because the stock YJ's syspension is so stiff. In my opinion the better way to go is to increase suspension travel by removing the rear track bar and getting anti-sway bar disconnects for the front. If you do this your jeep will perform 100% better off road even with the stock size tires. With these modifications you will rub some with 30x9.5 tires, or you could go to 29x8.5 (P235R15) for no rubbing at all. Better yet would be a mild 2.5" lift with the afore mentioned mods that would allow 31x10.5's. Good luck. Scott

I'm running 31x10.5x15 on my 15x8's and that's as big as you can go without a lift. i have a little rub when i hit hard on a bump, but added the bushwhacker flares which helped.

Tire size calculators are out there that match up lift, gears and tire size.

I did a quick search and found this one at fourwheeler magazine:
