Default rim & tire question

currently on my 2000 GC Ltd I have the following stock sizes tires 245/70/16 with factory 5 spoke rims:
Name:  GC1.jpg
Views: 57
Size:  48.5 KB

I was wondering if I could get a bit of help. Will these fit my GC? they are 235/75/15. How much of a difference will they make?

did the limited come with 16" and the base GC come with 15"? if so they should be okay?

thanks all in advance!

If those are Jeep TY/YJ rims which they look like they are the rims themselves will not fit your Jeep as they have different bolt patterns. Your Jeep has a 5 x 5" bolt pattern, and those rims have a 5 x 4.5" Pattern. If you are ever trying to check tire sizes themselves, here is a great website for that.

And this might help too...




WJ's came with either 16" or 17" rims, depending on vehicle options/year.

Here's some good info on stock wheel/tire combo's:

Good find on the charts there Craig, it's to bad that there isn't a FAQ section that all this could be posted in.
