Hey guys, new to the forum My Names Luke.
Im wondering how big I can go with tires on my, 01 Cherokee with 3" RC lift, 31X10.50's are supposed to be the right fit but anybody know what I would have to do to go bigger? Or at least wider?

Welcome to the forum. 31s would be the biggest for a 3 inch lift unless you start cutting your fenders a bit

If you cut and fold the fenders you can fit 33s put them on a 15x8 wheel with a 4inch backspace, mine has 33 10.50 15s on 15x8 soft8 I cut my front fenders and folded the rear I don't rub anywhere at full droop.
