depends. how much do you want to bumpstop? depending on this, you can fit anywhere between 31s and 37s. there's a guy on here who runs something like 36s on 3" lift; granted he has full widths and long arms so the situation might be a little different. on stock axles i'd go for 33s on a 3" lift with fender trimming and proper bumpstopping.

Thanks for that thread! I'm planning on a 3 inch lift and running 33x12.50s with some trimming. Wanted something small so I could do narrow mountain trails and still be able to have some clearance.

no problem! i was actually thinking of doing that too haha. i already got the lift, but since my stock axles cant handle 33s that means i'll have to get a non-disco HP D30 (mines a disco, so not as strong or reliable) and build it for 33s (4.88s, ARB locker, truss, shafts) and build a D44 that i already have (4.88s, ARB locker, truss, upgraded shafts). as you can see it gets expensive real quick, so i wont be doing it any time soon.
