Hi there. I have a 96 xj and would like any help on selecting the right rims for the tire size equal to 31-33 inch tires without rubbing on the contol arms. I have 265/75/15 bridegstone dulers on there now and the only rub if you go for a full lock turn. right now the suspension is stock but a 3" lift is soon to come. any help would be great. thanks

I run 15x8 with 4" backspacing on mine. No rubbing on the control arms anymore with 31's. Stock backspacing is 5.25 so they stick out an extra 1.25".

3.75 or 4 is about the best back spacing for the jeep with 31's or 33's
