    Just recently acquired some Jeep Cherokee mesh wheels, 15X7 with a +25 offset. I'm reaching out to see if anyone could shed some info on what would fit best. I was thinking of 195/55/15 or 205/60/15. The truck currently has the suspension at stock settings. I am planning to change out the front suspension coils for the oem mighty max ones to give it a bit of a drop, and level out the rear accordingly. Do you guys see me running into any rubbing problems with the two options? Thanks in advance for your help.

    If your planning on lowering it alot 195\50\15..... if not or not alot of drop the 55\60 will be OK but the 55 will look nicer

    thanks for your input..One more questions based on the math I've done I should be able to run a 205/50/15. and have room for about a 1.5" drop. This based on the current wheels/tires it currently has and the new 15x7 +25 wheel??

    Thanks!

    If youre only going to go with a 1.5" drop then you might need more tire so it doesnt look goofy.

    Looks good bro, 3/3 drop would look sweet.
