Tires sticking out from wheel wells?
 
Hi i want to bump up to a 3.5 lift or 4.5 and plan on running 31x10.5 BFG KM2's and was wondering if the tires would stick out past the stock flares?Right now im running a 2" BB with 30x9.5 o cragar rims with 4 backspacing and there barely behind the flare. Any pictures would help too if they stick out. Thanks!

They will stick out a little in the front and be even with the backs

Hey, this may be off topic but how do you like your 2 inch lift? I wans thinking about getting one but idont really know how it looks because there's not many pics of it you know. So if u can give me a pic of ur so I can get an idea that would be great!

Photo is of a 3" RC lift with 31X10.5 on stock jeep wheels. You should have lots of room even on stock back spaced rims.

Thanks everyone and yea X91J heres some pics of my ride.And my opinion on it is i think it rides really smoothly and for price you cant beat it.However if you have never installed a lift before on your im assuming 91 be very very careful with the rear upper shock bolts.Trust me what a pain in the a$$ that was.

If you use the stock rims, they will be well inside the flares. If you use aftermarket rims they will stick out a little.
