Can i put 31" tires on my jeep now, as long as I keep it on the street ? I have bald tires on my jeep now and i have an opportunity to buy 31s now for cheap, but my jeep is stock.

you'll rub like a mother. I threw some 31's on my jeep just for fun when mine was stock and it was horrible. If you dont mind trimming your fenders you can throw anything you want to on it.

31's are meant for at very least a budget boost with trimming, or a 3-3.5 inch lift with no trimming.

You can fit 30's but don't try and carry anything in the back and you will need steering stop washers in the front.

meh, it would just be until I lifted the jeep. Maybe I'll do the lift first.

30's work absoultely perfect stock, 31's will do but you can get a cheap lift down the road and be set for anything!
Go for it if the price is right!!

Also keep in mind age of the Jeep, and the condition of the suspension. Since you're still at stock height, if you've got an older model (say early to mid 90's), i'd think twice about 31's at "stock" height, as there's a good chance the suspension has started to sag with time.

I've got some year old Rusty's 2" AAL's that you could slip in your rear spring packs if you're at the "2 inch sag stage" like most of the older Jeeps.

If you go with the 31's, just remember that your speedometer and odometer are affected. Using a GPS to check my speed, 45mph on the dash was 47.5 on the GPS, and 55mph was 58.5.
The upside to that is that I've probably been getting better gas mileage than I thought I was, and my extended warranty will last that much longer, too.

I'm running 31's on Canyon wheels on a stock 93 sport no trimming.
Ok they are almost wore out but they still run better than the 235's that came on the Jeep

Pic?
With a little sagging in the rear, I was rubbing like crazy with 235/75 which are about a 28.9" tall tire. You will be better off with stock backspace in my opinion running that tire. If you go with anything around 4 or 4.25 backspace, you will rub like crazy.
