31 will fit with a full cut up front and cut and fold out back though you wont have a lot of flex offroad

I have a set of 30x9.50x15 inch BFG Mud terrrain Km/2's with stock suspension no trimming. i still have the flares on aswell. I never had bump stops in the front or rear when i got my xj. but i do bottom out some if i go over rough trails to fast.
