Most will say it will fit with stock rims. But you may have some minor rubbing on your lower control arms when turning.

I rock 30x9.5x15's on ravines (15x8) with no rubbing, but I've got 5.xx b/s on these wheels.

you should be alright. maybe lil on u turns, or full flexes, you might rub a tad.

you can go with 235s, which is only 6mm skinnier, then you'll be good.

I have to admit that the search function on this website is not that great *unless i'm missing something*

I can't even search for specific sub forum! I ask one question, and I get response from all sorts of jeeps

then be really specific with your search, IE include "cherokee" in your inquiry. Also, for a question as common as this, Type control F "tire size stock suspension" or something, search the page, if nothing comes up, hit page 2 and repeat. You WILL find it within 2 or 3 pages, considering the number of these threads.
