I just think 31's look a Lil small with 4.5" of lift. But again, I had trimmed fenders also. Maybe that's why. Best thing is to google image 4.5" lift on 31, or 32 tire and see what ya come up with.

Go with a 31 or a 32. With the rims backspaces at 4 or even 3.75 I don't think it'll rub your LCAs.

So maybe I just thought it looked a Lil tall on 31's but I dug up a pic and its not bad.

Just watch the tires. I believe my 32" tires are taller than Colby's 32" tires. That said, I am running 6.5" of lift and our XJs side by side were pretty similar in stance. I believe I ended up with a 33" tire, vice a 32. They are metric so the conversion is not exact... but they fit. I want to get some bushwhacker cutout flares at some point.

I think you forgot about rim size, might be the same size tire but it looks like you are sitting on 17" rims compared to stock 15" plus trim vs no trim will visually make the tire look bigger or smaller
