Default rims?

Im fixin to purchase some rims for my xj. Does anyone have an opion on what size to got with. Im thinkin on getting 15x8s. But at the same time i dont know alot about rims. Will a 32x11.50 fit a 15x8? Also will a 32x11.50 fit my xj with the lift i have on it? I've got pics take a look and let me know.

You normally want to stay around 2 inches smaller rim width to tire tread width... better to have closer to size then go smaller... so i would go with a 15x10 this is my opinun.. alot say the tires tend to stay on better on 8 inch.. but myself it makes the tire look to ballooned...when on to skinny a rim

Personall, I like the headlights-

I'd look around online for some picts of the size rims and tires you're looking for-
with all the guys on here, as well as some other- lesser known - sites, you should be able to find exactly what you're looking for, probably on a comparable vehicle.

Also, head up to a swap meet-
Bring your rig-
NOTHING's cooler.

Good- luck-
Shop hard- it would suck to end up with something you don't like.

15X10 on a 11.50? ....i wouldnt....
I would do 15x8 5x4.5 bolt pattern and 4" bs those rims leave you the option to run 12.50's later.
A 8" wide rim will hold bead better on lower pressure.
plus you can get away with stock fender flares.
I just bought 4-of the same size rims and am running 35X12.50

I have 33x12.5-15s on 15x8 Cragars, and they work wonderfully

a guy I knew didnt listen to me and he got 15x10, and he lost a bead when his tire was low tore up his thornbirds pretty good
