What's the largest size that will fit. I found people running 275/55-20 but the tire I wanted doesn't come in that size. Closest is 275/60-20 or 285/55/20. First is an inch larger diameter (33"), second is pressing the limits on width and half an inch diameter larger than the 275/55-20(31.9").
Thx

Well...as you will prob hear from other members on the forum...there is a wealth of info on here, especially since this topic has been discussed repeatedly...so if you do your homework, and thoroughly search here & on google...you will find the info that you seek, given that the vehicle design has been on the market for nearly a year and a half.

However, you are pretty well stuck with the 275/55/20's (or smaller)...unless you buy aftermarket wheels.

Good luck with your research!! :)

Thanks guys. Was hoping the 33s wouldn't rub. Oh well. Guess the tire makers will have to catch up with some new sizes.

It's been confirmed many many many times that the 275/55's will fit without rubbing unless they had some crazy tread design, but I think you're safe with the AT3 sidewall clearance too.

As long as you are running everything stock, they will fit. :)

I think it depends how you use your Jeep and whether or not you have QL. I believe there is a larger rack front to back on the non-QL and some have expressed some issues with the front fender rubbing a bit. Many have chosen to get the RRO leveling kit to give them a little more room in the front wheel well when going with the 275/55/20 size.

My 2012 Overland Summit has the Air Suspension. If the Cooper Discoverer AT3 P275/55r20s will fit I will be content with this. The Goodyear Fortura, IMO, were never intended to be on vehicles of this type. My traction on snowy/icy roads was lousy. Thanks for your input. clb2

275/55/r20 will fit perfectly on a wk2 overland even with the suspension at the lowest park setting. I have the bridgestone revo 2 AT tires and no rubbing at all. I was honestly wanting to try a 60 profile... which effectively is a 33" tire diameter, but i suspect there would be some rubbing there on the front during hard turns, but might not be a major issue.

I can assure you 285/50 will not rub for those without QL.
Not saying they won't work for those with QL but I don't have it so I can't say.

I had 285/50r20 Cooper Zeon LTZ's put on 20 miles after I bought my Atltitude and have experienced no rubbing in normal everyday driving.
I'm more concerned if there will be issues when off-road as opposed to everyday driving. The 285/50 is wider than the 275 so I'd imagine it comes slightly closer to the stud/ball joint. This is a pic from another thread showing how close it is with the 275.

I just made a short post in another thread that applies to this subject, too. Be sure to consider your spare when you are upsizing your tires. Your spare must match the diameter of what you run at the four corners normally. This is the nature of a 4WD vehicle...all four tires touching the road must match in diameter to avoid damaging the drive train. The relevancy here is for that as well as considering what you can fit in the spare tire well...larger may require removal of the foam storage accommodations.

Wow! This is an old thread. But since you need help, yes you will be fine with a 275/50-20 using the OEM wheels. I have run 285/50-20's on stock WK2 20" wheels with and without a leveling kit.
