I just did a 2" BB on my zj and now moving on to tires...im getting new tires at the end of the month(treadwrights) and im wondering if any of you know how 31's would fit on a 2" bb or should i play it safe with 30x9.5's? Im not afraid to trim at all...could cut the whole fender up i really dont mind, it gets drove very little and will be mainly used for off road...i have a set of 31's with little tread that i was plannin on throwing on until i get new ones, would they rub on the lca's with stock zj wheels? if so how much? still drivable?

Sweet good deal...could i fit 32x11.5's with around 4"s of backspacing? Yet again im not afraid to do a little trimming.
Thinking about putting the tires off my xj on the zj and get 33's for the xj.
