Hey Gang. I'm looking for some help in upgrading my tires. I have a
'97 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Currently, my tires are size P205/75R15. I
want bigger tires, but I can't afford a lift right now. What is the
biggest size I can get without a lift? And does anyone know of
anywhere I can get decent prices for these tires? Please help!

Thanks!
Jami

31 X 10.5 is what I have heard.

A 31x10.50 will fit without lift.

30x9.5 will fit for sure. 31x10.5 will fit but may need putting a washer
under a bump stop to keep from rubbing at full turn. You'll probably
need 8" wheels if you want to go 31x10.5, that's a bit wide for the 7"
wheels that probably came with your Jeep, but look at your build sheet
and find out what wheels you have. You can get 30x9.5 tires and 8" wide
wheels for real cheap from eBay or Craigslist from people who are
upgrading to bigger tires. I suspect this supply will dry up shortly
though, since the new JK uses a different bolt pattern.
