tire size


Recommended Posts

  • 4 years later...

I was going to start a new thread concerning what is the largest tire we can run with the 19" wheels. This post has a neat chart, so I figured that I would bring it up to date. There is also a thread concerning the space between the front tire and strut.

Stock size is 225/55R19: 28.7" dia., 8.9" wide

Next size: 235/55R19: 29.2" dia., 9.3" wide

Third size: 245/55R19: 29.6"dia., 9.7"wide. Difference from stock = + .9"dia., + .9" width. According to the chart: 3.01% increase.

Anyone know what is the largest tire that can be installed with out rub issues on Factory 19" wheels? I know that this is not a Jeep Forum, but there is a lot of empty space in the wheel wells.

245/50/19 are almost spot on for wheel diameter so that keeps the speedometer accurate. 255/50/19 will fit (according to discount tire) but the speedometer will be read slightly low. I'm going to go with one of those sizes when I need new tires. I'm at 42,000+ miles currently. I think I can get another 5k out of them.

Peace.
