Tires and wheel size options>??
after some thought over the past couple months I've decided to keep my jeep and fix it up more... I will be in the market for wheels/tires after I lift it...
I'm going with a 4.5" lift, what are some good options that will fit stock fender wells.. ??
Not to keen on backspacing for the cherokee and there are so many wheel options I'm discombobulated..
pics are a plus

Thanks man!
The few times I've wheeled it it rubbed when stuffed. But I never extended my bump stops so thats probably why. But for regular day to day driving it's fine.

4.5" on 31's. I've had 235's all the way up to 36" IROK's and they all fit. The problem isn't the height of the lift as much as it is the size of the wheel well. Personally, I like 4.5" and 35-37's, but you have to trim quite a bit for that. Oh and the wheels are 15x8 with 4" bs

I will look, but I don't think so. I didn't even drive it with them on. I have a d35 at the moment so it would probably explode if I tried to go down the street with them on. Tattookid85 has 35s on the same size lift I have. He might be able to post up some pics.

puddin and phjo, how does it handle at highway speeds???
forgot to mention that I'd still like my xj to be a dd without a lot of drifting, bumping etc. on the highway...
nice rigs everyone keep 'em coming
ETA: I just found the TIRE/WHEEL STICKY again, I thought I seen that before... I looked before starting this thread adn couldn't find it, very useful info
