Default How much trimming for 32" tires?

I have a 3" Rough Country lift on my jeep right now and I'm deciding on what size tires to get, 31s or 32s.

I want to keep the trimming down to a minimum, not really that good with stuff like that, and it would just be easier without having to trim anything at all, but 32s would be nice.

Let me know what you guys think!

Here is what my jeep looks like now with 235/75/15

I have around 5.5 inches of lift with 32's and I don't need to trim but it would help. You would need to trim a good amount with 3 inches of lift.

I've heard that you don't need to do any trimming for 31s on a 3 inch lift...is this true?

31's would be fine with 3 inches. You wouldn't be required to trim to make it work.

Why did bossenator say that he has 3.5" lift with 31s and they rub?

yes. add some bumpstops and trim about 1-2" and relocate your flares up. i ran 4.5 w/34x10.50 no rub. i was able to keep my stock flares too.
