Standard rim how big a tyre

[tjmad]

Hi all,
Just wondering, how big a tyre you can fit to stanarad tj wrangler rims and still fit to a standard tj.

[bonza]

fitted 31" X 10.5" on my rig with stock wheels. have been told thats the max you can go.

Depends on how much you want it to rub or how much you are prepared to cut ;)
generally speaking 31x10.5 is the popular option - but I wanna see someone cut the guards and fit a set of 38x11.5 Boggers ;)

I always thought the BFG 33x9.5x15 would fit. Cant remember where i read that.

The tallest tyre that will legally fit a 15x7 rim is a 33/10.50R15. Only manufacturers of radials in this size is BFG, which should be enough reason to buy new rims!

[Jono Ward]

For on road use is 10.5" the widest you can go on the 7" rims?

[Wooders]

For unengineered FULLY road legal - 30x9.5 is about the max.

Our golden eagle came std with 31"x10.5" and they look fine, nice and square but i would like a fatter look. With a 2-3" lift planned soon would like to go bigger. Will change rims if have to but i like the dark coloured factory mags that are on it. Not looking for extreme just where the boundry is not necessarily on a legal stand point. If the tyre is mostly kinda sort of flatish in profile that'll do

Jono,

I suspect that the 31's you got "Std" were simply fitted by the dealer. If you check the tyre placard I'd bet my left nut that it says 225/75R15 not 31x10.5R15.
225/75R15 = approx 29"....ie increased that by 25mm and you get 30"......
I don't want you to think I'm saying don't do it - but I'd hate you to get into a debate with a coppa without the right info ;)

IMHO the ideal step up from a 31x10.5 is a 33x10.5 - just a shame there's not more of a selection in that size :(

[MattW]

Im pretty sure the placard on mine reads 30x9.5x15 Cant remember for sure though so will check tomorrow when i get home.

take that silly "placard" off guys ( I mean everyone with over-size rubber)
when you're fulled over, and it's not there
the-man has no "on-board" jeep info to throw in your face

just my two cents worth
took mine off when the 31's went on the tj.

[TUNGSTEN]

Or better still try and get one off a JK to put in its place ;)

[olfart]

whats the jk sticker say
can you shoot us a photo

[Steve F]

Maybe make up a sticker, could it be that hard? Just keep the stock sizes and have an optional 31" or something like that :)

Cheers
Steve

At the moment I have 235/75/15's on the tj. I have a second set of rim's which I want to put mudders on just for when I'm offroad. This set is why I wanted to know the bigest size I could fit. Just wanted that little extra ground clearance.
