Jeep Tires and Wheels Fitment Guide

The following chart is intended to be used as a guide only. Suspension lifts vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and are normally given in nominal dimensions. For example, a 4" Jeep Liberty lift kit purchased from one company may not lift the vehicle the same exact amount as a Jeep Liberty lift kit purchased from a different company. To further complicate matters, how the vehicle is equipped (hard top versus no top) or the addition of equipment (an example might be a front winch with heavy duty bumper) will also affect the actual height that any kit raises the vehicle, to some degree.

Just in case that was not enough of a challenge, Jeep tires of the same designation (i.e. 33X12.50R15) from different tire companies also vary slightly. And, lastly, there is the matter of Jeep wheel width and offset. For these reasons we cannot accept responsibility of guaranteed fit by solely using the chart below. You must always check the actual fitment of your Jeep tires and wheels package at the time of installation.

Replacing the wheels on your Jeep Liberty, Wrangler or Cherokee?Jeep Liberty, Cherokee, Wrangler Wheels

Give your Jeep a whole new look just by replacing the wheels or plus size the tires and wheels to also improve performance.

While Jeep wheels are available off-the-rack, choosing the right ones isn't as easy as it sounds. There are a number of Jeep wheel essentials that should be taken into consideration including:

  • Jeep Wheel diameter: the total wheel diameter when measured from bead seat to bead seat (the position where the tire rests and seals on the inside of the rim). This is an especially critical essential to take into consideration when changing or altering brake components.
  • Wheel width: the width of the Jeep wheel, measured from bead seat to bead seat (not edge to edge).
  • Offset: the distance from the mounting pad to the centerline of the Jeep wheel. This effects the Jeep's steering response and steering stability.
  • Backspacing: the distance from the inside rim surface to the backside of the Jeep wheel mounting surface. This measurement determines how far the wheel will stick into or out of your Jeep's wheel well.

The Jeep wheel essentials we listed above are just a few of the factors that impact the fitment of any Jeep tire and rim combination that should be taken into consideration. Lynch Jeep Store's certified service specialists will ensure you're getting the right combination of Jeep tires and wheels at the time of installation.

Why drive without Fender Flares?

Nail one good mud puddle with your Jeep Cherokee and you'll be convinced that adding fender flares to your Jeep is a good thing!

Considered one of the most important accessories you could add to your Jeep, fender flares not only give a tougher look but also prevent the early onset of rust and corrosion. They'll also help avoid getting other debris on your windshield and down the sides of Jeep.

A fender flare is a raised section that is attached over the wheel well, extending the body of your Jeep. If you're thinking about installing larger wheels on your off-road Jeep, then strongly consider adding fender flares at the same time to provide additional coverage.

Are you among the many who enjoy topless, half-door driving in your Jeep Wrangler? Add fender flares and avoid getting a cabin full of water or a face bath.
