My jeep is getting really close to needing a new set of tires and I am wanting to get a bigger set this time. I have 17 inch wheels and I'm wondering what are the biggest tires I can possibly put on the jeep without them rubbing?

Just keep in mind that when going from the stock 215/60/17 tire size to a 225/65/17 size, your tire diameter increases by about 5%, which has the effect of numerically lowering your axle ratio and torque multiplication by said amount, plus throwing off your speedometer/odometer also. I know the looks may be cool and all, but even with the 2.4L, you have to wind the poor little thing up to 4,400 RPMs just to get 165 lb. ft. At slower speeds, off roading, and pickup from a stoplight, I'm not willing to give up 5% torque multiplication just for looks.
