Default Tires?

Ok Jeepers need a little help here. I just bought a 1989 Cherokee Pioneer that I will be installing a 3" Rough Country lift on. The stock Jeep has 31x10.50r15 BFG AT's on it now (not installed by me) and they of course scrub like Hell. I know the same size tire will not scrub with a 3" lift but what about 32x11.50r15 tires? I just want a little bigger tire when the lift goes on. Will 32x11.50's scrub?

I have a 31x10.5r15 tires, on wheels with 4" of back spacing on a 3.5" lift. I rub when off road with stock fenders still. If you have stock fenders, with no cutting, I would stick to 31's.

Get a zone lift instead. Avoid rough country. Other options are iron rock offroad and rustys.
