Re: 2" Lift ?'s
So what is the biggest tire I could get on my stock wheels. I have the Echo
15x7 wheels with the 265's on them now.
Could I get 31x10.50's on them with no problemo.
I am having a hard time finding wheels I like and I do like the stock ones.
Just the tires are to small

Re: 2" Lift ?'s
If you have stock tyres, they would most probably be 225s not 265s. I have
changed to 265/75R16 from stock 225/70R16, the 265 measures to around 10.4
inches. I have factory Jeep Icon 16 inch rims which are 7 inch wide. The
tyres look nice to me in this combination.

Re: 2" Lift ?'s
sorry you are right, 225's my mistake.
How do the 265's compare to the 31's?
Some one must have a link to a chart some where.
