Before I have them put on rims. My 95 Cherokee is stock. No lift.
It has P235/75-15 right now.
I have a set of 30/9.50-15's with almost new tread. Will that fit? They look tall unless it is an illusion.

They should. Depending on how much your suspension has sagged over the years you may or may not have any rubbing issues. I only made contact on the back lower fender when hitting large bumps. I am running 30x9.5x15 mud tires.

Ok. I am not sure. Sits up nice and doesnt sag in the rear or anything. I may be okay.
Here's a photo of that helps. I don't even know what Jeep I have? When i go for parts, they ask me if it is a Sport, SE. Mine says nothing. Just high output on the tailgate.
Here's how mine sits....For now....

Awesome...Thanks!!
Mine is a 95. I dont undersrand what model mine is. I doesnt have Sport or SE..or anything. When I go to buy anything they always ask me what model. Mine dont say anything? Just Cherokee. And on the tailgate..4.0 high output.
Sorry to sound so stupid.

That is just their data base search engines for parts. Unless you are talking about trim levels, all the hard parts are the same, such as fender wells, flares etc

Ok I gotcha. I see when I got to like...advance online. There is no base model. They ask for stuff like sport and SE.
Mine is pretty plain. No power anything. Which I like. Less things to break.
I am impressed with the power. I had no idea it had 190hp until I looked it up. Thought it felt like it had some power. I may do a k&n air system. Dont know whwt I will gain from it. But maybe a few bolt on things can help even more.

There are not a lot of bolt on things to have. I think that strange considering how many Jeeps there are with that engine in them

What is your VIN? You can PM it to me if you would feel more comfortable doing so.

I like the engine. I heard these are a pretty good motor. And go for a long time if cared for.
I will go up the garage and get the vin and pm you. Thank you for your help.

Per Decodethis.com your vehicle is a 1995 Jeep Cherokee SE 2-Door 4WD.

Glad to see another 2 door. Be careful of the upper door hinges, they like to tear away from the body causing your door to halfway fall off.

As Steve (4.3LXJ) said the trim (SE, Sport, Limited) doesn't make a whole lot of difference for most parts... however the fact that it's a 2 door will.
The doors are longer, the rear interior panels are different, the 2 door seats fold forward to allow access to the rear seat.....4 door front seats do not.

Funny you brought that up. I noticed the drivers side upper door hinge was welded. And not a factory weld. That explains that. Its lined up well and works fine.
I have to do floor pans and sub frame rails after winter. They did too many poor patch jobs. I feel the Jeep is worth it. Body is not bad and runs really nice.

I'm running 235/75-15s which I believe are considered 30s. I've got -1.5" of sag (dry) and with it fully loaded for camping it rubs over medium humps on the freeway until I burn off a half tank of gas. Then it only rubs on big humps. Unloaded, it never rubs, even on trails.

You may contact Jeep using the link below and they will send you a build sheet for your Jeep. Then you'll know everything there is to know about it as well as things that are not as they came from the factory. It usually takes about 3-4 hours for them to respond via email.

I'm running 235/75-15s which I believe are considered 30s.

They are just shy of 29".

They are just shy of 29".

I still tell people they're 30s. If they try to look too closely at the numbers or pull out a measuring tape I just speed off :D
