Default Trying to figure out if these tires will fit

I have a 2000 xj. I will be putting bushwacker flat flares and a 2" lift on next week. I can get a SMOKING HOT deal on a set of 32" BFG mud terrains. Is there any chance that these will fit??

Yeah but they will rub on the lowe r control arms, and you "may" have to trim the fenders a bit but shouldn't be to much of a problem. How wide are they?

I can't really cut further than what I will already be doing for the new flares. Will wheels with less backspacing help clear the LCA's?

I'm not 100% sure on the width, they're the stock tire's from a 2010 wrangler rubicon.

You will have enough clearance with the flares. I think the flares actually advertise the capability of using 33" tires on stock suspension. So those plus a 2" lift, I think you will have room. Wheels with less backspacing will help you clear the lcas. Also, I don't know if you could even use those wheels that are coming with the tires. Do they have the same bolt pattern?

Thanks for the help guys. I wont be using the wheels that they come with because they have the wrong bolt pattern, so it won't be an issue to get wheels with less back spacing because I already need to buy new wheels.

Cool. What size rim do you need?
