Default 33's to 235/75/15

I got some 33 bfg mt,s on my cherokee now, that our about 10 years old and sun rotted and cracked pretty bad. My buddy gave me a good deal on a set of 235/75/15 goodyear wranglers.
I want to put them on for now because money is real tight and these mt, are scary to drive on. Do you guys think it would look ridiculous on my chereokee.
Pic below. And do you guys have any pics of lifted cherokees with 235's? Oh yeah the wranglers only have 5000 miles on them.

her is mine on 265/70r15's with 4.5" lift. i drove it that way until i wore out the tires and could afford new 33"s

235's fit under a stock cherokee.... so you would have to remember that your tires are not as wide so cornering might be different also if the SPEEDO is calibrated for the 33's it will be way off and same as the gearing. highway driving might be rough as you would not be able to go as fast and stay in the same RPM range. but if it has 3.55's or even 3.73's or 3.07's it should be fine for a temp solution

Oh hell, no offense but that looks funny. Damnit peace of mind of good tires or better looks, with chance of blowout.

Hey you can leave your pride in the driveway and look at it from the porch, just don't risk a blow-out endangering an innocent person or kids life on rotten tires. Anything can happen with rotten tires, and at any time.
