I just bought a 2013 Patriot Sport 4X4. I have 18" rims that will fit on it but no tires. I want to put off road tires on them and just wanted to see how big of a tire I can put on without lifting the jeep and where i can find inexpensive tires. kinda on a budget. Thanks.

just as a note, going off roading with a larger rim is not smart. you are more likely to bend a rim and you'll have a terrible ride. If you are planning on doing off road, you are much better off sticking with your stock rims. If you have 17's 225/65-17 is a great size with a few options, and if you have 16" rims you have even more options and cheaper options for great off road tires, and if you go to a 15" rim, more options better tires, and cheaper tires.

if you plan on off roading the max you can go is 225/65/17.
if you stay on the road and only want soft off roading on unpaved roads,you can go 235/55/17,as it is close to the stock size.
