Default 3 inch lift with 32s

Hey guys just needed some help deciding what size tires to get for my 2001 xj. Just put a 3 inch rough country lift on and have 235s right now. I know you can fit 31s but was wondering how 32s would fit with rubbing, cutting the fenders, etc. Pictures would help too, just trying to get an idea. Thanks.

I'm guessing you'll need to trim a little and probably bumpstop. There are several people here running low C.O.G. rigs with 2-3" lifts and 32+. Someone will chime in, I'm just playing the role of hold music while you wait.

those tires are too big. They will fit but the ride will be ****. I had 31s with a 3" lift and they fit, but after a couple years i went back to 30s and would never go back.

You can fit anything if you trim enough. Im sitting on 3.5" with 35s. I did trim a bit more than needed in the front(cut out dents and wrinkles). I was rubbing on full stuff(Closest to the door) but I just pushed my axle forward about an inch in hopes of fixing that.


Ill get a flat groud pic if you want, just none on my computer
