Hi Guys ,

I have a 2012 Laredo on which im planning to change my wheels and tires :).

i was thinking of 18 or 17 inch/ pro-comp or XD wheels(there are the two that im little familiar with :lol:) ..i want the tires to be beefy without rubbing i was thinking like 275/65/18/ or 265/70/18.but i have no idea how much lift i would need or even do i need a lift as im new to jeep ??:confused:.

I need the tires to look beefy and stick out little bit out of the wheel well but not too much

your advice is greatly appreciated

thanks in advance :thumbsup:

I am also a first time Jeep owner and I just put 275/65/18 Rocky Mountain ATS II tires on my 2014 Overland and I have no rubbing. I am very happy with them. They really fill out the wheel well and beef up the car without going too over the top. Plus they were only $145 per tire at America's Tires! :D

Now my only question to any others who have put a larger tire on their JGC is should I get a Procal programmer to re-calibrate the speedometer and computer for my new tire size? The dealer wants to charge me $265 for this. That seems very high but I can't seem to find any other programmers online for a 2014 JGC. Is it worth it to get one or should I not bother?
