Need a Spot
I'm looking to buy bigger tires for my jeep but I don't want to put a lift kit in since I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep mine. It's a '04 Wrangler (6 cyl-4l). Anyone have any advice?

Personally I would stay under the 29 1/2 - 30" mark. It seems from the posting which has been on here and many other sites that any thing over the 30" mark will wear and rub. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
I ran 30x9.5x15's on my XJ just fine before the lift.
They would rub a little at full turn when I was turning around on steep hills but not enough to do any damage.

The offset on the rims your using will make a difference.

The tires I ran on stock rims were fine but I tried a set of 30" Mud terrains on steel rims and they hit the fender well before full turn.

I have 30's on mine. No rubbing no problems. I heard you can put 31's on TJ's without a lift. They shouldn't rub if you dont go crazy on the trail.

I have a 98 TJ rockin 31's stock (as far as I know)

It doesnt rub one bit, and looks like I can fit 32's under there with no problems.

I wish I knew if It had a lift though..

you also have to keep in mind the actual tire size. My 31-10.50's are actually only 30 inches tall. Tires vary in height compared to what they are advertised as.
