31's on stock rims?
Its coming around time to get new tires and i wanted something better than stock. I am getting a 3 inch lift so i was woundering if 31 inchi tires would fit on the alloy wheels of a 2001 cherokee.

You may want to invest in some 1" wheel spacers though. I know a few guys running 31x10.50's on stock rims and they rub at full lock. The stock 15x7 rims just don't have the backspacing I guess.

Agrees, when I have my 31x10.5 on my stock rims, I rubbed like crazy on my LCA at full turn. But I just got better backspacing in new rims, ended up being cheaper then buying spacers.

I've been running 31x10.5 tires on my stock rims for a little while now with no real issues. They rub a little bit at FULL lock, but only when it's really hitting the steering stop. A minor adjustment to the stop would probably fix it. Day to day driving though, they don't rub or do anything weird, I love the setup. They tuck right up into your fenderwells when you are getting kinda flexed out offroad too.
