There's a guy locally who runs a set of 255-70-16's on his stock height KJ.
He claims that there is no rubbing...
Yet when I crawled underneath the front end all the tell tale evidence of
rubbing was there!

255/65R16 would be a better fit...

Ya but if you off road your vehicle having as much sidewall as possible is better.
Especially when you air down your tires.

You can not fit a tire on that rim that will
work with an IFS KJ
You would need a tire that is at least 12.5" wide
To stay on the rim when aired down
For perspective I run an 11.5" wide tire
on a 7" wide wheel
I think they are 7" may be 8"
They are stock TJ wheels
I can air down to 12psi and not loose a bead

Go for it!
Be the first.
Stuff some tires on them 16X10" wheels and tell us all about how great they handle!
Pic's or it didn't happen!

My 03' had 255/70R16 tires on the stock wheels when I bought it. Rubbed a little in the front and at the pinch weld when the wheel was cranked.
Long story short, my KJ now has 235/70R16 Cooper AT3's on it. Speedometer reads correctly, doesn't rub, and handles better. Don't bother with those tires, not worth the trouble. They're hardly any larger, don't really look any better, screw up your speedo reading and hurt the fuel economy.
