Getting tires soon

[HoosierJeeper]

I've pretty much settled on the Nitto Terra Grappers, in 245/70/17. I can get them locally for about $140 each.

Anyway, right now I'm sitting at about 21.5" all the way around, maybe a bit more, but a 245/70/17 is 30.6" vs a 245/75/16 is 30.5". What can I expect for rubbing? I might add a clevis lift and some isos in the rear.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

are you using stock rims or are you going to get some backspacing?

Stock....

might get some sway bar rubbing at full lock and just to be safe i would pound the pinch weld. other then that you should be just fine

I did not know HJ you also have 17 OEM rims.
I would like to try 245-75-17 but with some backspacing.
The 245's will rub a bit at full over and worse in reverse without the spacers.
The Jeep does look better pushed out a little, just not so sure how that plays into future bearing wear.
