2008 jeep patriot- i have a basic jeep patriot my tire size are 205/65R16 and my buddy is givein my some brand new off road tires size 265/75R16..my question is how high would i have to lift for the tires not to rub i didnt put them on or actually looked to see if they would rub the jeep is at stock height but before i go to install them off the top of yall heads do yall think they will fit qithout a lift if not whats the best and biggest lift i can get to work on the jeep wothout cuttin or changeing major parts
There are two commercially available lift choices, RRO spacer lift and Stucoils. And no, they can't be used in combination for more lift.
Those are 31.7" tires; they won't "fit" without a lot of work i.e. lift, pinch weld mod, wheel spacers and/or negative offset rims, and you'll probably have to cut off the spring perch from the front struts.
And even after all that it may still rub on the inside of the wheel well at full lock / full strut compression.
Tires that big will also have a huge negative impact on performance and MPG, as well as more wear and tear on the drive line.
IMHO,what you'll get for all you're effort and $$$ won't be worth it. I'd sell or trade those tires for something smaller.
making a moose hunting truck!! and the terrain is a pain
