Default 30 inch tires
Ok guys I found some 16 inch wheels off of a liberty. I have some 255/70/16
tires.

I have 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport stock height. The tires are 30 tall and 8.1 wide.

Will they fit without rubbing?

Well I got them on there. I will post a pic not sure if I really like them or not. The factory ones had a inset where these are more flush.

I stayed with a similar profile tire.
