Default 32s vs 31s

i have a 1992 jeep cherokee with a 3.5 to 4 inch lift, i am not exactly sure, i bought it this way. It currently has some 31s on it on stock cherokee rims and it doesnt look too bad. I want the tires to look bigger though and stick out as well. Could i run 32s? or would it look disproportionate? can anybody show me what it would look like?

I have 32's on a 4.5" lift. I still run my stock flares but had to trim some plastics. I also bumpstopped it. Still not enough in the front, I need to add another inch. Nothing a hockey puck wont take care of. I think it looks good. Check out my albums for pics

Oh and Welcome to CF

If you want them to stick out, get rims with different backspacing or wheel spacers (if they're legal in your state).

I can run 36's with 5" and cut fenders so 32's for you should be ok with just a little rubbing

Does your current setup with 31's rub? My 99 with 4" lift and 31's on stock alloys rubs just a little on the front bumper endcaps. It also used to rub on the LCA's. I installed some WJ LCAs and that went away.

Another thought too, your 31's are most likely 10.50" wide. 32's are 11.50 wide. BFG makes a 33x10.50 All Terrain, something to consider in your thoughts.

I've got 32's on my 4.5 rough country. And I've ripped my front bumper endcaps off once already. You'll definitely have to do some bumpstopping.
