      Hi guys,
      I just bought a used 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited v8, and the previous owner has 20’x8.5 rim and the tire is 275x45R20 installed, ( here is the link for the rim. http://www.wiredwheels.com/tdsadv/pages/wheels.html. The model is WI19-208515C). They are really good rim, but the front tires are rubbing against the front fender plastic/rubber! Especially making a full turn or reverse. Also, it is consuming lot of gas 11 mpg combined. Can someone help me out?
      1. If I want to keep the rim, how can I make the tires not rubbing against The fender/rubber?
      2. If I buy another set of rim and tires, what spec I should pay more attention to? There are lots of rim and tire on Craigslist, but they are for wrangler with taller tires. How do I choose one?
      3. Any suggestion?

      I have very minimum experience with car, thanks in advance.

        If you want to keep the 20×8.5 rims, mount 265/60-18 tires on them. That is the OEM tire size for 20×8.5 rims.

          Most reliable way is to stop by any close by tire shop and they will tell you exactly what tire will fit your rim.
