Yes, a 30" tire will fit in the cargo area, if that is what you mean. With stock wheels they will fit on the XJ fine as well. When you go to a different BS on the wheel, is where you will run into rubbing issues with 30" tires and no lift. I know quite a few guys that started out that way. FYI, it is only the begining of the illness, it gets way worse!! Good luck!! I hope you get a chance to wear those 30s out, before you start itching for bigger tires!! LOL!!

All the XJ's I have had, have easily ran 200k+ on original motor. My 90 Laredo I used to have had 350k on it, before my EX decided to run it with no oil.. But no worries, these 4.0L's are great
