Hey.... Just gettin into this jeep thing over here in Aus and seems to be the cheapest and way easier for me to order what i need from the states.. Ive ordered a 3 inch RC lift kit, and im puttin on 31 x 10.5 x 15 mtz's but im not sure if, when i order my new wheels, there is a particular ofset that i should ask for so i have no ( the least amount ) rubbing dramas. Wheel places over here dont seem to have much of an idea when it come to XJ's so id rather be told by those who know.. Also, is it worth buying some bushwacker flares for clearance or not really with this smaller wheel, tyre combo..
Cheers

 

Mine has a 3" lift with 31's, my backspacing is 4.5 if I remember correctly.

 

Looks cool.. Any need to do any guard work as i still have the original flares on and not sure if there gonna be restrictive for offroad.. and do i have to order any specific suspension bits and pieces etc to add now so i dont have any hassles later on??? thanks

 

I'm running the factory flairs and have not had a problem. As far as your suspension question, I added new shocks, stock wont work with the lift, Relocated the track bar and added a heavier steering stabilizer. Tip: antisieze all your fasteners going into the unibody before you install and torque them (you'll understand what I'm talking about when you do your lift) and I suggest you locktite everything else. Welcome to the forum, put up some pictures of your build, and have fun!

 

Thanks for the advice.. I got shocks and everything i was told i needed in the kit but wasnt sure if there are any things that suppliers dont tell ya that i could need to avoid any probs.. Ive sprayed all bolts etc and will do so for the next week ready to be undone for the lift. Will put some pics on soon...
