I'm in a bit of a bind and needing advice.
Basically, it's time for new tires. I was hoping these cheap-o tires that the dealer put on my jeep would last me until next spring, but it just isn't going to happen with how many miles I put on the Jeep. I wanted to wait and lift it (Ironman and clevis/rear-isos) and put 245/75 on the stock wheels. Now it's looking like I will need to buy tires in the next 2-3 months and I know I won't have the money to buy the lift around that time as well. I'm looking mainly at good all terrains. I have a couple options...
1. Buy much better, stock sized tires (225/75)
2. Buy slightly larger and much better tires and doing the WesWay lift. Looking at 235/75 and 245/70. Will I rub with either of these tires doing that?
3. Buy the 245/75 and do the WesWay and live with the rub for a few months until I can afford the proper lift. How horrible will the rub be doing this?
My Jeep is an 07 Sport with 149k on it. I'll get fender heights and add it later on. I do some pretty good trails but nothing too crazy, but more than the average stock KJ will go through.
