30's should fit it may rub on fully locked turns though but that has to do with your rims are you putting them on your stock rims

i think bowtie had/has 31"s on one of his xj's at stock hight

30s on my stock 94, no rub except for a locked left turn. You should be good. If its really that bad adjust your steering lock.

30's should work fine for street use..Won't be good offroad since they will rub but if you plan on a lift of 2" of more anytime soon I'd go ahead and get 30's..If you don't need tires immediately and plan on a lift wait trust me.

I believe a 235-15 is around 28-29 iches tall. I know they will fit a stock XJ. Heck, I believe they would fit my wife's WUSS-J......er.......I mean Liberty.
