yeah I guess I will have to. The 32's on it now have plenty of clearence.
My jeep has 4.5" rustys lift, 2in spacers and shackles. The 32s look like donut spares!

We have 33x12.50x15s mounted on 15x8 wheels with 4 inch backspacing on my son's XJ and they clear everything on the inside just fine.

depending on ur lift. ive seen 4 inch lifts on a 90s model with the 35s. and they will rub the inside wall of ur baby. meaning either u got the money to replace tires alot. or try and get the wheel wall knocked back an inch or 2 in the front and behind ur wheel when turning. i say go with the 33s. unless u have offset rims then go with the 35s.
