    X2. I run this size with my mismatched tires (front and back), and I've been very happy with it.

    Or 225/75R15, or 235/70R15, in your choice of passenger car tires. All are ok for the factory wheels.

    i run 31 x 10.5 i think i had to adjust the stops a little in front and put little spacers on the back till the studs ran out. but i redid the tub so a factory tub might not rub. i dont know what that translates to in metric size

    I use 30/9.50-15 on 15/8 rims and don't rub springs on turns . 235/75-15 would work with stock rims

    I ran 34x9.5x15 TSL's on my stock height CJ-5 and only slightly rubbed behind seat, and inner wheel wells. with spacers I only hit springs lock to lock.
