Now is that a different kind of rim or something? I'm new to lifting up jeeps.

Higher number, closer it is to hub, lower number, farther offset the wheel is.

I ran a 3"BDS as well and had not only some rubbing, but at full stuff, actually folded back edge of fenderwell metal. Just took off my flares and kind of dealt with it. I was running stock Rubicon tires on it (32" BFG MT)

Nothing bigger than 31's should be used on a 3" unless you wanna remove flares/trim.

I like the 3" BDS, I'm running the setup right now. Its a tight squeeze with anything bigger than 31's, even with some good trimming.

I'm doing some body work and fender trimming (I hope) this weekend, before it gets too cold.

I had been reading about the wheel spacer discussion. I am looking into buying aluminum billet wheel spacers and I maintain my vehicle and make sure my lug nuts are tight. lol. I have a basically stock 98 Jeep Cherokee Sport, it's on my profile pic, not sure how to add pics on these posts. How do you think my Jeep would look with 1.5" spacers?
