Wondering if some boggers 31 12.50's would fit on my jeep lol. 30 9.50s fit without scrubbing at all.

Bro, its not gonna work. You'll end up chewing up a perfectly good set of tires and messing up the fenders on your Jeep. If you honestly wanna run 31s for cheap buy some spacers for up front and shackles for the rear.

Yeah I forgot to mention that they rubbed at full lock with a 3 inch lift. If your gonna do something to test it, I'll trade you tires so your not chewing a good to pieces, cuz thats all you will do. It won't work without a lift.

hit one good bump and see if you sing the same song. if you do, your lucky, I don't know how your doing it. I've worried a few times I was gonna rub my 31's with the 3 inch lift.

But are they 31x12.5's like the OP said he was going to try? I'm willing to bet they are 31x10.5......those 2 inches make a huge difference, especially if you are mounting to the stock rims...not near enough backspacing to make those ride.

I have 2 inches on mine and I run 31x10.50 Thornibirds. The lugs on the sidewalls grab on complete turn. The rear rubs bad on a big bump. I tried the 31s stock and I could barely even turn the wheel...

Have you had them on stock xj rims? i'm curious now. It's kinda neat to have shiny mud lugs on the inside, but i could learn to live without.
