OK im bout to buy a 3 in RC lift, but havent decided on 31s or 32s, i have MT wheels with 3 5/16 backspacing and a -30 offset. I do NOT plan on trimming. Any personal experience would be great
I have 31's on a 2" budget boost, and they rub like crazy. I talked to a rough country salesperson and recommended the 3" lift for 31" tires, as do most people on here if you don't want rubbing or to trim. That said I'm buying my own rough country kit in a day or 2... 4.5" is gonna look AWESOME.
...so get 31's

I am running a 3"bb with mickey thompson signature 15x8 same offset as yours, with 31x10.5 bfg mud terrain km2's, THEY ARE GOING TO RUB!! Don't go any larger unless you want to trim!!
No they won't. I have pictures of my Jeep. sitting on a 3" legit lift(full packs and coils upfront) I am also running 31x10.50s on stock wheels, and I don't have any rubbing even on LCAs at full lock. I've flexed it plenty and still haven't had rubbing issues. 31x10.50s WILL fit a 3" lift and do it quite nicely

i really dont want to go up to a 4.5 because i like the low aggresive look. but would the 32s rub like hell? i mean some people fit 30s stock i figured they would fit with a 3 in lift
If you trim you can fit 32s on 3". I'm with you on liking the low aggressive look, thus why i'm going up 1" and trimming to fit 33s on 4".

Try the 3" lift and if needed you can add spacers to get the clearance in front by going with 1" and will clear most 32" tires except in severe flexing situations.
Kinda confusing that you prefer 32s but want a lower stance.
