Certainly the dream of all of us, but you WILL have to bash your pinch welds to make 265/75/R16 fit and you will need to re-gear, or suffer the power loss.

Since I am already driving on Maxis 980AT 254/70/R16 without a lift and rubbing issues. Adding a 2" lift it seems would only allow me an additional 5mm (75)in wheel and extra ground clearance is that correct?

Same issue, pinch weld and gearing since we're autos is what stops you going bigger than 245/75/R16 without spending the bigger dosh.

@Kontek
Hey mikzor mine fits a 20" in the spare well. Did they change the size in the jets maybe ?

Yep, I believe the last model Jet's came standard with 20" rims over the previous Limited models 18" rims. They work out to roughly similar sizes and they certainly didn't make the spare wheel wells bigger in the models. The KK came with 16" Rims on the Sport, 18" Rims on the Limited and 20" on the Jet but all we're similar in rolling diameter.

They did make the brake callipers bigger in the Jet's which is why a lot of the Jet guys have only gone down to a 18" rim whilst all of us Limited guys (who we 18" to begn with) can manage to go down to a 16" rim.

Got the CRD mik, no power anyway . Seriously though the CRD is torquey and throws my jeep around on 245/75/16

Wish I had the diesel My poor little petrol feels a bit sluggish sometimes.
