I have '21 Firecracker Red / Black Soft-top JL Unlimited Sport S. The tire / wheel size is 245/75R17 All-Terrain Tires. If I'm looking to upgrade the Wheel / Tire package without lifting Jeep, what are some suggestions? I'd like to stay with All-Terrain Tires. I'm trying to figure out how large I can go without lifting the Jeep and yet keep the turning lock-to-lock clear. I'm new to Jeeps and theses types of vehicles. So I'm learning all of the time.
I've been to a dealer and I didn't understand what he was talking about. I went to a tire/wheel store (Big O's Tires) and it was not really any better,.
So apparently there are a lot of things I'm not getting or understanding.
My goal - to have a wider set of tires that will not interfere with turning lock-to-lock. How wide can I go?
I'm looking for Black Wheels - I can stay 17". I think pushing to 18" might be a bit much. Does the wheel size in width change if I change the tire width?
I do not want to lift the jeep. Just looking for it to have a little more of a wider footprint stance. So what I"m looking for is some exact sizes. Can I go 285/70R17 without an issue?
What size wheel should I be looking at to keep the 17"; have some profile in case I go a little off roading, but not rock crawling at all.
So, I was looking on the jeep.com Site. Maybe I can do Moab Black wheels (17 X 7.5) - Can 285s fit without interfering lock-to-lock? If not what would that maximum width? (285X70R17C)? Off of a Rubicon. With a Moab Black Wheel.
Thanks,
Ed
