I'm looking to get a second set of rims and tires for my XJ but I want to make sure they'll fit. Right know I have 31x10.5's but the rims I have do have offset. The new 31x10.5's are on stock xj rims. Will I have any rubbing issues with my 3" Rough Country lift?

I cant tell you about stock wheels or rubbing

But I have 33x12.50-15s on some Cragar 15x8s

and I have them on a 3.5 Superflex lift from Rubicon Express

I dont have any issues with rubbing except for when I try to back out of places and the wheel turned

oh and they back tires rubbed once when I caught some serious air

i had 31s on mine with no lift. it rubbed like crazy but its possible so i doubt you should have trouble with a lift. then again, i cant say for sure since the offset could be different or something

the biggest tire you can run is 31's on stock suspension anything else will rub like crazy.

so if i bought some 31x10.5 M/Ts and had stock suspension would they fit on the stock rims? (91 xj sport 4x4 4door) im also going to trim the fenders.

i have 31x 10.5's on a set of stock rims with only a 2.5 budget lift. only time i have any issue with rubbing is with the wheel cocked hard left, right front rubs a little. but like i said that is with the wheel cranked all the way... depending on what your doing with it though, i think the fender may need to be trimmed a bit

Thanks for all the input. I'll probably go ahead and buy these because it doesn't sounds like too much of a problem.

nope youll be good to go. you might rub the slightest bit if your turned all the way and flexing

3" on mine it will only rub just a lil when the wheel is cut all the way and i hit a good bump in the woods

if the tires are 31x10.50 R15 and the wheel is a 15 inch wheel then yes it will fit. what size wheel do u have? stock is 15 inch usually, different with the newer ones though.

Metlic53

i would believe that 31's on stock suspension would rub, that also depends on the offset wheel you have. i have 3 inch lift with 31x10.50 BFG A/T with a mickey thompson classic lock wheel and they rubbed until i trimmed the fenders a crap load and put on some bushwacker flares, and raised the back with a 1.5 inch shackle, they will still rub if i get in a bad bind.

Metlic53

i dont know the offset number on the wheel from memory but i do know that with my stock rims the tire didn't stick outside of the factory fender flare, the mickey thompson wheel stuck out about 3 inches outside of the factory flare and are dead even with the bushwacker flares, so my tires/wheels are spread out alot more than they were with the stock wheels/rims. thats why i rubbed, it used to flex and go inside the fender well, now it flexes and interferes with the flare/metal. (fixed now though)

i have a weird tire size 31x 11.5x 15. i never seen it before and they are on a rim with a back spacing of 5". i put a RC series 2 lift on my 2000 xj and they only rub when i turn hard on uneven ground.

To the OP, with your 3 in of lift you should be just fine with the stock wheels as most others have said, but you will probably rub a little. They have about 5" maybe 5.25" of backspacing, most after market wheels have anywhere from 3.25-4.75" the lower the number the wider your wheelbase will be, farther out your tires stick... etc... so going with a wider tire than stock (215/75/15) on stock wheels, could cause some minor issues, but nothing major.

csmart30

my bad, stock could even be 5.5" backspacing, depends on which stock wheel you are gettin
