focusedmonk Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hey all I am new to DJ world and I have a 2014 RT with stock 225/55/19 tires. I would like to run a 255/55/19. the tire size difference is plus 1.3 inches tall and plus 1.14 inches wide. I was thinking of using a Wrangler off road rated spacer to accommodate for the size difference. Any thoughts? weasey31 and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric04SiR Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think you should use 255/50/19 instead of 55 https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=225-55r19-255-50r19 dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I think you should use 255/50/19 instead of 55 I agree. 50s better. It's what I did and they are perfect. Peace. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I am running P255/50R19s. I can barely get my index finger nail between the front strut lower mount and the tire. I believe this tire is the widest 50 series tire that can be mounted. The Ultra Black Crossroad wheels do seem to have a deeper dish than the rest of the wheels available to the DJ; so this may be my saving grace.

weasey31 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Can you send me pics of your tires on the crossroad wheels? I'm in the process of upgrade my 2009 DJ tires 225 stock 19" rims. Been looking at 255 or even 265 but the front spring worries me. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Chornobey Powley Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 225/45r17. Will they fit?? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Try one and see. See if your tire dealer will let you mount one. Do it in the front. The front strut spring mounts is where you will find the interference. No problem in the back. My 255/50R19s are the size that Dodge mounted on the Red Show DJ when the Crossroad edition was being introduced. I think that Dodge would have mounted the largest tire possible for the "right" look, even though they eventually did not sell the Crossroad this way. jkeaton and weasey31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasey31 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Sweet ride Dhh3. Those fat tires take the look to a Whole Nother' Level. Edited November 6, 2015 by weasey31 dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Sweet ride Dhh3. Those fat tires take the look to a Whole Nother' Level. Thank you for the compliment. I actually bought it for the color! It had leather seats so I assumed it had heated seats. Not! I had a local Car Accessory Shop do the install. Next summer I may add a sunroof. This shop uses the same sunroof as the factory. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
