Getting 30's for cheap
Well i might be getting my friends 30" tires off his 03 tj for like 150$ but i'm riding stock height atm. So i'm wondering how much trimming would be needed in order for me to have them fit?

I ran those tires with mine stock with no problem. Just dont go over anything crazy and you may just rub a little on your LCA

30's should not rub the CA's at all. At the most the fender wells. If you add a 2" budget list you will not move the tires any father away from the CA"s then they are at stock. I ran 30's and never had them touch the CA's on stock rims.

At full turn mine rubs just a little nothing bad. Then again the backspacing on the rim will make it happen or not.

Ow. Sorry to hear about the wreck. Hope you're ok. If you're getting another XJ with eh insurance $$, 30x9.50 AT's will fit stock. I did it with mine on ZJ Canyons and I never had any rub.

Surprisingly i'm alright. I went to the hospital because my arm was killing me, but it's just bruised up so i have to wear a sling.
Yeah the insurance company should be giving me an estimate for my jeep today, so we'll see how everything goes
