Default Tire Question

I plan on doing a 6.5 lift on my 01’ xj, what size tire could I run without cutting the fenders? And what’s the biggest I could run on the stock axles

Ive not found Lifting to gain much tire clearance.
seems 33s will rub the same from 2-6" of lift.
I run 35s with 4-5" of lift my lift height is kinda unknown to me.
the tires are bump stopping on my front fenders and ive removed a **** ton of fender. Like 6 8" of fender
Im sure 40s would bump stop but id lose alittle compression travel

35s and if you have the Chrysler 8.25 rear it will be fine, for the front I would swap a high pinion Dana 30 in, you should also regear the axles to 4.56.
