I know you are probably tired of these threads.... but since I trimmed my fenders I want to know what I can fit... I have been looking around and most people I see with 31's and 33's have a 3" lift. I have a 2" lift with new springs. Here is a photo of the side.




What size do you think I can fit to fill those fenders? New wheels is also an option. I was thinking of getting some steel wheels so if you have a tire in mind that needs the wheel please provide size and backspacing.


Thanks in advance!

Oh and the size on there now is P235/75R15 on stock wheels.

MIGHT GET AWAY WITH 33'S IF YOUR BACK SPACING IS RIGHT.

i would personally go with 32s and a nice set of soft 8s. you could probably fit 33s, but you will have alot more flex with 31s or 32s

X2, if you want good clearance go with the 31s. Or if you want bigger go with the 33s. DON'T USE SPACERS

I'd go 33s with some black d windows but with a small lift bumpstop , you might have to trim the front fenders a bit more though

Cool, I'll have to source some wheels and tires. I was all into getting mud terrains but I believe with the locker a good set of all terrains will suffice since this is my DD.

Thanks all

Honestly man id go with 31's i wanted 33s for the longest time but if you go with 31's you'll be capable of doing more thing in your jeep. Flex is always good lol im about to trim my fenders up and throw 31s under mine. i need to update my pictures. my current ones are of it stock.
BTW i have a 3 inch lift!

I was thinking 32X11.5 on 15X8 3.75"bs wheels. I am planning on going a little taller on the lift eventually anyway.

I will probably have a little while to decide. I am looking at the BFGoodrich all terrain T/AKO which I know is a proven tire. It seems 4wheelparts has a package deal better than any other place I've seen.

$1328.496 for 5 shipped to me mounted and balanced. Next cheapest would be summit or jegs but they don't mount and balance. Tire rack kills it's deal with shipping cost. I'll also have to see what local tire shops can do.

I would really like to pick up some used wheels and tires... I don't have a grand to put down right at the moment. However once I save enough I don't have any problems investing in some new rubber.

Go with the 33s. If they rub, trim a bit more.
