    I have 31x11 on stock wheels and the fronts rub against the front springs if I have them turned all the way in either direction. I plan on getting 31x 9.5 next time I replace the tires which will be sooner than later.

    The BFG MTs come in a 33x10.5

    Or if you go with a 16" wheel you can get some metric sizes in a 32.x9.5, can't remember the size MOP has but that's what it translates to.

    The 12.5" tires are too wide for stock wheels.

    The mud terrains do come in 33x10.50. That is probably what I want. These 33x10.50 will fit on stock rims?

    Pushing it if you try it.

    The only stock wheels I'd put a 10.5" tire on are the KH 15x8s.

    Anything else is too narrow I think. I may be wrong though.

    Is the KH 15x8s the stock wheels for a 1968 Jeep?

    I've got a '69 that they were stock on but they were special order I'm pretty sure not standard.

    Standard equip on a Ren I.

    What's your Jeep have?

    Its not a Renegade. It just has stock wheels with 29 inch tires on it right now. Do the BFG AT have good off-road ability? I dont really want to buy new wheels is the reason i'm asking about all the sizes and stuff.

    I was pleased with mine on the TJ off road. Then again, I don't like mud and don't do any hard core rock crawling either. For general trail use they did very nicely for me.
