I just recently purchased a 98 4dr xj and it came with an uninstalled 4.5" skyjacker kit. My question is what size tire can I fit under there also I do not mind cutting the fenders I was planning on doing that and making some custom flares. Also what size wheels and offset do you run?

thanks
mike

 

with cutting you will fit 33 nicely. 4 or 4.5" backspacing.

 

some guys stuff 35s under a 4.5 but if your not planning on regearing i wouldnt recommend doing that...but x2 with the 33s

 

sounds good to me just wanted some opinions I will be going with some 33s any recommendations?

 

well are you looking for AT or MT?

heres a great site to browse pretty much any mud terrain or all terrain tire on the market today....i am personally running hercules trail digger mts right now

 

I am going to be doing a bunch of stuff with the jeep from just daily driving to some mudding and then some snow trips. I am looking for the best all around tire with the best bite that really fills out the wheel wells good. I like the beefy tire look if theres anything like that.

 

I can get a good deal on some 35's is it necessary to swap the gears or is it just going to hurt my bottom end

 

I would recommend getting the pro comp at's or extreme at's. I have the regular at's as my jeep is my daily driver. They work great on and offroad and if you rotate them and keep your jeep aligned they last foreve

 

Should I stick with a 10" tire or can I go 12.5 without spacers? Also what offset should I go with. Btw thanks for the help

 

a great tire would be the Goodyear Wrangler Dura trac
Theve had awesome reviews for light truck on and off road. priced at 160-170 on discount tire service.com for 33x12.50r15.
Awesome in snow also. the have the snowflake mountain symbol.

 

Someone already posted the offset.
