What do you guys think?

I bought a set of 30/9.5/15 MT's and now I want a 3 in lift kit, how do you think it would look? anybody with pictures of that combination?

Thanks

I've got 31's for DD duty on 3" BDS and I don't think it looks bad. 30s shouldn't be too bad, but thats my opinion.

I had 30x9.5x15 one my jeep with 4 inch lift and cut fenders. On stock wheels. It looked ridiculous.

It's like a bastard pack. It's 4 inches according to previous owner. My 33x12.5 fit perfectly. No rubbing anywhere.

30's will look fine with a 3". Most guys run 31's, so you'll have a little more wheel well showing.

Here's my 99 with 3" front 3.5" rear on 30x9.50r15 bfgoodrich all-terrain ko2's

Did it rub at all? Did you space it or anything? How did the tires react on a 3”/3.5” lift?

No rubbing. No spacing. Drove like stock. Doesn’t look like that anymore though.
