Grabber A/Ts on stock rims

[ATP]

Simply put, will 235/70R16 General Grabber A/T's fit this stock 16x7 rim:

Now I know it's silly, but the only reason I ask is my dad went to "a couple" of tire places and claims all of them said only Wranglers fit on that rim, and I instantly said BS to that...it sounded so made up or that the garages have a bunch of idiots working there.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the Grabbers, but I have Firestone Destination A/T's 235/70R16's on my stock rims. So something other than Goodyears will work.

As far as I know, no problem whatsoever. The stock alloy rims are 16"x7" as well. I have 245/70's on my alloys with no issue. 235/70 was a OEM size tire. The only reason I can see them saying this is that if you were to look, a 235/70 grabber is slightly bigger in diameter than a 235/70 Wrangler. Like I said though, I have 245/70 and it's fine.

I Also Have 245/70 On Mine And There Was No Problem With Them Before I Put My Lift On.

The only difference I see between mine and the one you pictured would be the steel versus alloy rims. As both are 16x7, I can't see there being an issue.

I just had 4 grabbers fitted today on stock rims 235-70-16 fit no problem.

Should be a problem. Any 235/70 tire should fit.

Hey guys. I have not been on here in a LONG TIME. I get L.O.S.T on the L.O.S.T site too much.

I am confused with these tire questions and the size.
I am getting ready to get bigger tires for my freshly Frankenlifted 03 KJ.
STOCK mine came with 225/75/16. Currently I hav on 225/75/16 BFG AT/KO on the 5 star STOCK alloys. I can slapp on 235/70/16?

what does the 70 mean? ***/70/16 ***/75/16

Well I am guessing the General's are considerably cheaper than the Goodyear's which mean they won't fit as well into the profit making scam or is it scheme. Either that or they are misreading the 235 as 285/70R16, because they are ********. Or your dad wants to get Wranglers and is saying the Grabbers don't fit.

Anyway the 70 refers to the ratio of tire width to sidewall height. A 235/70 tire is 235MM (9.25in) wide and has a 165MM (6.5in) tall sidewall which is 70% of the width of the tire. To convert a MM size to inches divide the MM by 25.4. The diameter is determined by adding the rim size (16in) to the sidewall height 6.5*2+16=29inches. The most common sizes, 225/75R16 and 235/70R16 are respectively standard and optional sizes for the Liberty.
