Understanding how to pick out the right size Tires, Rims and wheels

What happens here

A close-up demonstration on the blue Jeep highlights the clearance issues that arise with oversized 37-inch tires, even with a lift kit. The tire is shown making contact with the vehicle's bodywork (fender flares or inner fender liners) when the steering wheel is turned, indicating the necessity of further modifications such as fender trimming, cutting, or installing aftermarket fenders designed for increased clearance. This visually reinforces why larger tires aren't a simple bolt-on upgrade.

Goal: Understand and anticipate clearance problems when installing oversized tires.

What they say

issues and we're going to show you what we're talking about. These are 37. Okay, so we do have clearance, oddly enough on this side, but on this side, we're definitely hitting. So, we talked about clearance issues with 37s. There you go. Now you can see it firsthand. And now we got the big boy on the end. So now we're looking at a 40 incher. Yeah. So this one 40 15 12. You need a big truck to fit these or a lot of cutting. So say we wanted to put these on the Jeep. You're talking fender delete 6-in lift absolute minimum. Um more than likely an 8 in which is you know to fit it on the Superduty same thing. We did 8 in lift to fit these. So a fender delete especially for a Jeep means you're just removing them. just taking them off. Running something like RBP's replacement fenders that give you a lot more clearance is going to be required when you're going something this big if you're not lifting it to the stock. Right. Well, it's going to be required on this one as well, right? With the 4in lift. With a 4 in. Absolutely. Okay. And we look at some of the differences in the rim size itself. This is a 2214. So you'll see, you know, obviously there's a decent amount of sidewall
