    Have a 2009, two door, five lug. Looking to upgrade the tires WITHOUT upgrading wheels. I do not have/ want to lift my vehicle. What tires do you recommend for my current set up? AKA Stock AF

    If you aren't lifting it then just one size up. Maybe two pushing it with rubbing.

    Current 215 to 235. You'll need to do the black box removal.

    I'm on 245s and I didn't remove the black box. And there is no rubbing or anything. Am I missing something with this box?

    Sorry, I'm just playing it safe. I don't know the exact size that rubbing begins since I went straight from 215 to 32.

    Have you not removed yours yet?

    When the tire gets big enough it'll rub along the backside hitting a black box behind the cover.

    I haven't removed them. I have the 245s and had plenty of room. Even without the lift they didn't rub.

    Just put 235/75/15 on mine. Don't feel any power loss. Looks so much better. BF Goodrich KO2
