2004 Wrangler X Wheel and Tire Question

Hey Everyone,

I have a 2004 Wrangler X, 5 Speed, 6 cyl. and would like to buy
aftermarket wheels and bigger tires. I don't want any tire rub, don't
take it off road much, and am not really looking to do a huge lift. I
need the car more for commuting than off roading.

The wheel I want is the 352 Cragar. How big of a tire can I add to
that wheel and not have wheel rub? Is there something more I have to
do to make sure I don't get wheel rub? Any links to help me out?
Thanks again guys

Dan

32X 12.50s will fit but if you decide togo offroad or you hit a speedbump to
fast the tire can come up and hit the fender flares.

You can put a 31x10.50 on without a lift.

A belted tire handles like crap on road so that tire is only good for
off road, BUT, that tire won't work off road because it is too wide so
it can only be used where it won't work for ****, on road....

Indeed. Those skinny Avons that came with my first Land Rover were amazingly
effective in the mud.

I am running 33x9.5 BFG muds and they are wicked in mud. It almost
makes it no fun any more because they don't spin piles of mud up on the
Jeep. If I have to clean everything under, I want to at least 'look'
like I was mud running dammit.... ;-)

Last time I went offroading the guy in front spun his tyres and dropped a
clod neatly on top of my head :-)
