Default Wheeling Tires on Stock Rims

I have a set of silverblades that I may convert to wheeling wheels, 16", can I put 31s on them and not rub anything with my 3in lift or is the back spacing all wrong? If wrong guess I might sell them and get some cheap soft 8s for wheeling.

I would suggest getting cheap soft8s. Look good on every application and you dont care what happens to them.

What BS are the wheels you want to run?

Alright for 31's your probably going to want to get wheels. I know I had to on mine and I do believe the wheel well doesnt have as much room in the GC's as compared to the Cherokees.

Your 31's will be fine if you're running a 3" lift. With the stock rims they may be a little close to the shocks, but you should have enough clearance. I've got 32's on a 4" lift on stock rims and they work fine!
