Default 15x10 wheels, what size tire?

Ok so I have a 98 Cherokee with a little 2 inch lift. I just picked up a set of 15x10 wheels, what size tire should I run? I was thinking 31-10.50R15

You may have to trim with 31s on a 2" lift.

Your going to blow a bead very easily with 10.5" wide tires on a 10" rim. I wouldn't go any narrower than 12.5" wide tires on those rims. Few 31" tires come that wide though, 33" tires are where you get into that width. If you're not looking to go 33"s than I'd look into getting some 8" wide rims for 31"s.

I personally wouldn't do that. Most people run 8" wide rims with 12.5" wide tires. If I were you i'd just sell the rims you have and get some 8" wide ones. Just my opinion

I don't really off road. I may go through a field with mud but that's it. And I don't lower the tire pressure either.
