Hi Guys,
What size off road tires do you recommend for a 98 jeep cherokee sport with 15 inch rims?? It has a 3 inch lift.

I had a 96 with a 2.5" and ran BFG KO's 31x10.50R15 but I had to cut the front fenders a little bit. You probably wouldn't have to with the 3" lift.

I run a 3" on 31s and I get the tiniest rub on the lower control arm at full lock. The very corner edge of the tread block hits. When the tire wear a bit it will not rub at all. I'm talking less than a mm. I also have tubular lower control arms.
