245/65/r17 on a 2005 jeep liberty 3.7L 4x4 6 speed. Found a great deal on a full set and wasn’t sure I could fit them without rubbing. Thanks in advance

That is a 29.5 inch tall tire, whereas the stock ones are 29”. I think you can get away with it as long as your tires have more than 1/4” clearance when turning and articulating up and down. If your original springs have sagged a lot, consider new springs and shocks with those tires. The wheels those 17 inch tires are on will make a difference to rubbing too. Did your KJ come with 17” wheels?

No mine came with 16” I did get them to put on though and have zero problems with rubbing. I Did how ever put a wheel adapter set on because the rims that were already on the tires mounted to a jeep commander

We have 245/75R16 with 3" lift, wheel spacers , and pinch weld flattened. They still rub at the limits of the steering range.
