Say I put on a frankenlift or an OME lift from Jeepin by Al, and I had P235/70 size tires on my KJ, would it look bad? As in would they look crazy small on the Jeep with it lifted? If you think so, what tire size should I run?

Nope. I don't think so, besides it's yours do what you want.

I'm only asking because it needs tires, I believe that size is a stock size tire, and if it wouldn't look too dorky I would just run them when it gets a lift on it too.

Yes it does look a little off ... but better than not lifted :D

That is the main reason I waited until I could do the lift and tires together.

ah yes they do look small. The tires on it now are in really sad shape, three of them have a slow leak, one of those three is on the back and I put the spare on. The others just have a slow leak. I didn't run over anything and can't find any small holes. and then one of them is worn pretty bad because I'm in need of a alinement. Whats a good size to run that will fit some what ok on a stock saggy suspension and then look decent for a lift?

Go with 245/70-16's. they will fit now without rubbing and will be a bit taller and wider than the stock size. If you go with an aggressive AT it will help in the looks AND performance areas.

P.S. I ran 235's for a few months till I was ready to get new shoes. Yea, it didn't look the way I wanted it to but most people commented on the lift and I don't think even knew the tires were a bit undersized.

Wouldn't say dorky, but you'll want to keep the wheel wells clean. :D It'd be fine though, it'd look good enough.

Does that measure out to about a 30 inch tire?

Yup ... You may have some rub in the front, depending on your springs. I did, but it's relatively easy to trim.

235 70 16 on 3 inches of lift, 22 inches hub to fender.

It does look small. 245 70 16 would be better.

245 75 16 for comparison.
