Biggest tires for stock 2003 liberty?

[tomanyfieros]

I am looking at getting a set of 20 inch rims for my liberty, and was wanting to know what the biggest tire I could get for it. It is a stock 2003 liberty. I found a set of 275/45/R20s and it said the tire diameter is 30.4"... would that fit without rubbing?
Thanks!

No I just installed 245/75/16s with a 2.5" lift and they rub at full turn backing up. They are 30.6"

 

[liberator]

No

Max would be 29.5" diameter +/- depending if u stay stock offset and rim width.

I think Liberator is right on this one. Before I installed my lift kit I bought my tires. When I was shopping I had them test fit a 245/70/16, 245/75/16, 265/70/16, and a 265/75/16(way too big)

The 245/70/16 is 29.5" and it cleared 100% while parked but might touch here or there when you get down and dirty.

Needless to say I bought the 265/70/16's and drove them on my stock suspension for almost two months, The rubbing got violent...lol.

Happy shopping
