Alrighty, I know this question was probably posted over and over again and for this folks I'm really sorry. I just haven't found any specific answeres out there for what I am looking to do.

I have a 2001 XJ Limited and am looking to put a Rough Country 4.5 lift with replacement leafs. I also found that tirerack.com has the tires I want and off the top of my head they are 33x16(or 15)x12.5

I have asked alot of people this question and have gotten many CONFLICTING answers. What do I have to do to make them work? Cutting the fenderes? Flares? Hub spaceres? Who has done this lift config?? And fyi, the tires are Goodyear MTR w/ Kevlar. Someone help! lol

 

33's on a 4.5 kit you are going to have to trim the fenders or it will rub. Are you putting the tires on stock wheels or aftermarket? if so what is the offset?

 

or you could just extend the bumpstops and do some very minor trimming.

 

I plan on putting the tires on aftermarket rims. Something like a modest black look is what I'm after. What would you reccomend for rim offset??

 

I would run a 4.5 offset. with 33 10.50x15 tires.
