Default Baja claw Tire size with cut out flares???

Hey guys i need some answers/opinions on what i can fit/do. My cherokee has a 2in spacer up front with a 2in block in the back,i just purchased some used bushwackers and i was wondering what size baja claw i could fit. Is it true that the claws size are smaller than what they say? Could i fit 33in claws after triming and adding the flares? I know ill need longer shocks etc.

you can fit them but it will take some trimming and also bump stops as for them being smaller almost all tires are smaller then there sidewall says usually not much though teh claws might 32.5 or something like that usually not a very significant amount

I would just go with a 31, all your going to do is slam the tire into your fenders when you flex if you go with a 33. even after you cut them.

~3'' ,31s
3.5''+ ,33s.
anything bigger and youll be upgrading everything.
