Yeah but not without fender trimming and you will have to use extended bumpstops for them not to rub while flexing.

You will rub the fenders and the control arms. So you would need difference back spaced rims, spacers and fender trimming.

i have 31s on my cherokee but i dont have stock wheels. im not so sure if 10.50s will fit on that thin of a rim. but he could try. oh and i have my fenders trimmed to if you go into the lift and tire setup my jeep should be on the last page. its the primer gray jeep with soft 8's.

i had 31 on my 87 cherokee it was okay but i had them on for a week then got the lift.
i work at a tire shop and i helped this guy put 31 on a stock xj it was like a 99 country we put 1.25" spacers and it only rub the front fenders whenyou turned all the way to the right and left but nothing a sledgehammer fixes that

btw i have 33 12.5 on stock steels fit good!

so he would need wheels with 4 backspacing to clear from rubbing? i have a set of 17x9's soft 8's with 5 inch backspacing and rub a little. i believe my tires 31x9.5's.

just get a 2 inch bb lift and they should fit with minimal rubbing and look a lot better to.
