Default 8 inch or 10 inch..that is the question?

Ok..on 99 xj two door ...getting lift on this week..4.5 zone..aal..with a additional 3/4 spacer in front.....I picked up a set of rugged ridge 15x8 black powder coated steel wheels with 3.75 bs...

Looking at the bf Goodrich AT .either 32 or 33 inch..just waiting to see how lift goes....should I get a set of 10 inch wheels. If I go with the 33 inch ?

If you're going with the 33x12.50, I recommend 8 inch.

I agree, 10 inch would look a little awkward. 8 inch would look best imo.

Also, if you plan on actually wheeling the Jeep I would advise against those BFG AT's. They don't clean themselves out at all so they are horrendous in mud.

If you DD your Jeep like I do and don't wanna run full on swampers a good alternative tire are goodyear duratracs. They are probably one of the more aggresive 'AT's' out there and have served me well so far since I've had them

Good luck!

^ that's a lit of lift for 33's, I'm around 5.5-6" with 33's and thinking I need to go with 35's. With my lift I am limited on up travel though.

He's talking about wheel sizes, not lift.
