what size tire for 4 inch lift?
Hey guys, first time user here so i apologize in advance if this thread is in the wrong place, but anyway here goes..
I have a 98 xj 4 door right now with 4 inch springs in the front and 3.5 rubicon express rear leafs about to go into the back, and im currently on 235/75r15's, and they are waaay too small. I've looked at a BUNCH of threads and couldn't find a strait answer to what size tire i can put on there without having to cut and fold or do any heavy modification. I took off my fender flares because i assumed that might add a little clearance, so what size tire can i safely fit on a 15x7 rim with a 4 inch lift and no modding? also i do know that i will be limited as far as tire width goes to like 10.5 bcause of my wheels. thanks in advance!

You should scroll through this thread:

Usually 31-32" is what most people do; there's really no way to tell EXACTLY what will work for you. With those sizes you're probably not looking at trimming, or at least maybe minor trimming

I've got a 98 and I'm running 3" lift and 255/75/17, roughly a 32 with no trimming. when its flexed all the way I can tuck the tire in my fender, but I can't turn, so I'll have to trim mine.

to be honest i dont really go wheeling that often at all because my rig is only a 2wd but i just want it to look good with some beefier tires, so that being said, i wont be flexing at all probably so do u think i will be okay as just a dd being able to turn and not rub on fenders and such without trimming? I live in socal so theres not much nearby to go thrash around at haha

on 4 inch id go 32 10.50. the only thing you'll rub on is your lca's at full turn. are you going to be running a stock wheel or something with more back spacing?
