Hey all,
Looking for some help.
I have fairly stock 97 Sahara with the original size 30.5 all the way around. I don't want any extra wear and tear on any parts, So i'm not looking at cutting anything or replacing anything. Sorry, not putting 35's on it. BUT, will 32's or 33's Fit Normally without ANY adjustments on a stock jeep, without causing wear on the axles or bearings or anything else.
Any help, or experience with the wrong choices would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
Sorry Strong, but you ask a question this loaded, what were you expecting.
So, since the straight forward made you sour, I'll explain it.
The largest tire you can fit on a stock jeep without clearence issues are the ones you have. Even Rubicon 31 inch tires rub.
Any tire larger then what you have will cause your balljoints, axle u joints, unit bearings, tie rod, draglink, steering stabilizer and credit card to wear out faster then if you leave the stock size on there.
There is no free lunch.
This is kind of a given. Since you originally did not take the time to think that question through. I did not originally take the time to explain the obvious. See Im sarcastic too :wink: :wink:
A 31 inch tire will not make a huge difference, but things will wear faster
A 33 will be quite noticable
35's can tear front ends apart on a monthly basis when 4 wheeling is added to the equation.
Now if you were to ask how much extra wear is involved with larger tires and what not, you probably would have started a discussion.
But you specifically stated, "I dont want extra wear". The simple answer Strong is
No, you can not put larger tires on your rig without expecting to increase maintenance frequency.
Sorry
