Hello guys i have a 2011 kk I’m looking to put rims on it with an all terrain tire I really don’t want to lift it
Right now unless I have to any idea on what size tire I can fit with stock suspension? And or what lift should I use?

First what size wheels do you have , i.e. 16-17-18s or ??
Or should say what size do you want to go with ?
Wheels will have to be 5 inches of backspacing and 7 inches wide
16 inch wheel/tire combo would be better IMO
Most of the time due to age of suspension you can run stock size or one size larger is it

Daystar :(
Used sagging springs, worn out shocks and Daystar bad combo
Dp a full spring lift, will be much easier on the stock suspension parts and will ride way better
Then you can think of going to say a 245-75-16 tire

So if I go with that tire 245-75-16 all terrain
With stock suspension no lift will it be ok or woul it rub

NO you can not run 245-75-16 unless you do a full spring lift with at least 2 inches of lift
this is what I posted above

Here’s the easiest way to figure out what will fit. Go to your local Discount Tire or Belle and talk with their reps. I’m on stock 180k mile clapped out suspension and running 245/70-15 AT tires with no rubbing. The rep up at Discount set up a wheel and tire combo and put it on for me to see how it fit.
