I bought my son a 2004 Jeep Wrangler 2 door Right Hand Drive vehicle as he is starting his job at a mail delivery man for the Post Office.
We are looking at getting some studded snow tires as he will be driving out on Rural Routes in the Snow (Eastern Washington).
The stock tires according to the internet were 215/75/r15 or 225/75/r15 and 235/75/r15.
The tires that are on it RIGHT NOW are LT235/75/R15.
I know someone who has some studded snow tires for sale on jeep rims - verified that the bolt spread is 5 X 4.5, which is the correct bolt spread for the 2004 Jeep.
QUESTION: The tires for sale on the jeep rims are 265/70/R17 - I wanted to know if on a stock 2004 Jeep Wrangler (It is a 2 door, so is that the Rubicon?) - can I put 265/70/R17 tires on it if they are already on 17 inch rims with the proper bolt spacing (5 X 4.5) - without having to lift the jeep or do anything special? I don't know if the wider tire or the bigger diameter rim will make a difference?
I'll attach a photo of the jeep if i can. Thanks in advance for anyone who can let me know anything about this. I apologize for being a newbie. I'm just the dad trying to get my son some studded tires without breaking the bank on new ones.
