rims?
Im fixin to purchase some rims for my xj. Does anyone have an opion on what size to got with. Im thinkin on getting 15x8s. But at the same time i dont know alot about rims. Will a 32x11.50 fit a 15x8? Also will a 32x11.50 fit my xj with the lift i have on it? I've got pics take a look and let me know.

You normally want to stay around 2 inches smaller rim width to tire tread width... better to have closer to size then go smaller... so i would go with a 15x10 this is my opinun.. alot say the tires tend to stay on better on 8 inch.. but myself it makes the tire look to ballooned...when on to skinny a rim

Personall, I like the headlights-
I'd look around online for some picts of the size rims and tires you're looking for-
with all the guys on here, as well as some other- lesser known - sites, you should be able to find exactly what you're looking for, probably on a comparable vehicle.
Also, head up to a swap meet-
Bring your rig-
NOTHING's cooler.
Good- luck-
Shop hard- it would suck to end up with something you don't like.

15X10 on a 11.50? ....i wouldnt....
I would do 15x8 5x4.5 bolt pattern and 4" bs those rims leave you the option to run 12.50's later.
A 8" wide rim will hold bead better on lower pressure.
plus you can get away with stock fender flares.
I just bought 4-of the same size rims and am running 35X12.50

I have 33x12.5-15s on 15x8 Cragars, and they work wonderfully
a guy I knew didnt listen to me and he got 15x10, and he lost a bead when his tire was low tore up his thornbirds pretty good
