Found this site, just click on the size lift, then click the size tires, and it will give you a bunch of pics of that set up:

Hope this helps

That is a great link. Very useful. I like to see what it takes to get a particular look.

Don't we have a whole thread dedicated to lift and tire size looks?

Yes, but the reason I posted this link is cuz people all the time post threads asking what lifts look like with different size tires. I hoped this would end that.

I completely agree. Especially with my setup. its almost impossible to find a 3" lift with 235's. ive seen a couple in the lift thread,but they were not very good pics.

looking at that site and what they have pictured with 29's and a 3" lift; mine will look just fine. That pic with the 29" tire and 3" lift didn't have my duratracs and my 4" backspaced silver soft 8's. so with that in mind, i think mine will look great.

everyone says that 235's are to small for a 3" lift. they are right to a point. 235 street tires would be "OK" looking. but 235 mud terrain and a different wheel with some b/s; would look like a daily driving badd *** rig.

Now grant it if didn't need it as dd, i would be installing my full 4.5" lift and 32's.
but i drive 100 miles a day. so not right now.
sorry for ranting.lol.

What about me??? When I do my three inch lift, I'll still have the 215/75R15's on 'till I can get them changed out. What's that, like 26" tires?

He didn't have pictures of a 3 inch lift and 26 inch tires. Maybe I'll send him one after I do the lift, as to caution people NOT to keep the stock tires. What I get for buying a Jeep off of an old lady, I guess.

I liked the site a lot. I thought it was cool. I liked his description on his home page, too.

I can represent the NO lift, TOO small tires, and COMPLETELY SHOT springs look.

awesome find. it only lacks one thing. i have read that different brand lifts are not equal in actual lift achieved. the site doesn't specify what brand the lift is in the pics. let's say that the rig in the pic is a rough country 4.5 and i have a rubicon express 4.5. how much difference can there be between lift brands?

again, this is an awesome find. i am going to spend a lot of time on that site.

You should send a pic in when you get it installed.

It's good for a rough estimation. Even then, the differences in lift kits are small.

It will look like this. I hated it, but you be the judge. I don't think type of tires or rims will change the look all that much. You will always have a big gap in the wheel wells and really skinny tires.
The website is a nice find by the way. Saves people the trouble of searching the lift setup thread.
