Default 32x11.50x15s don't fit/death wobble

ok guys I'm new to this site. I installed a 3inch suspension lift on my 1996 xj sport. I bought a used set of 32x11.50x15s goodyear mtrs very nice tires. they don't fit. wheel spacers make them fit possibly?anyone want to buy them?I'm not really a jeep guy. o yea and then there is the all mighty death wobble in the front end. I put adjustable trac bar on, new steering damper and new ball joints. Still have death wobble jus not as severe. help me please.

With a 3" lift, you should be looking at 31x10.5 max. Any more than that and you will be trimming fenders and stuff.

The death wobble can be a number of things. Improperly balanced tires, wheel bearings, tie rod ends, bushings, improper alignment, ball joints, a bent axle housing etc etc etc...

1. How much for the tires if you want to sell?
2. Where are you?

They will rub with factory rims. You would need new rims with less backspacing. And as stated trimming the fenders and new bumpstops will be a must in order for them to fit.
