Can this be done? I feel its my destiny to have 32" mud tires because today i punctured the sidewall on my stock tires, and in the same day I found a deal on 32" mudders on 2.5 in back spaced wheels. hmmm?

If i bought these who votes I could get away with 32' tires, 2.5" back spacing, 2 coil spacers, 2 inch coil spacers, and 2 inch shackles in the rear end.

Im probably just hallucinating? but is there any way to cheaply run 32"s on a near stock cherokee until i can afford the big ol' 3 inch rough country lift?

You will have to trim... a lot... but you could do it. And if your state requires, you will need new fender flares to cover the tires on those 2.5 inch BS wheels

It'd be close...trimming will be a definate...i have 32's on my xj with 3.5"s of lift and i have a quite a bit of room, so on a 2" you'd be close...will most likely need to bumpstop so the fenders dont cut your tires up.

2.5" B.s. ? first question would be why?

I have 3 inches and 32 with 4 in bs. My tires rub at full turn but if you trim you will be fine. If you actually wheel I'd get bump stops becauses your rear is going to rub while mall crawling on a curb. My vote is go for and post pics because that's a stance I want to see
