That is funny U spell sofisticated but then mess up and miss the e and g in mileage.

I like the look of the wider tires. It may lose fuel but it looks so much nicer. A 33 10.50 or 12.50 would look nice.

my buddy has 33 on a 4.5 and yes he cut his fenders but mostly for the flexing room. U may have a little rubbing with the 33 but to be safe a 32 or 31 BFG All Ter. would be nice. Plus they last a long time.

I think you should go with some ProComp Mud Terrain 32x11.50r15, they look nice and have a good tread pattern.. or some BFG's but if you want to go cheap and nice go with a set of General Grabber AT2's or Sport King All Terrains. They both have very good tread ware and both last a long time. The Sport King AT's are made by BFG so you know there good thats what Ill have on my Jeep soon enough.

True dat. You don't necessarilly need a wide rim, if you choose the right back spacing.

Help with tires and wheelsHello, i have a 1996 sport xj and i was wondering what are the best wheels and tires to go on a stock lift. I am looking for a good set of tires for daily driving as well as some off road, and the wheels i prefer black just for the look. I'm not looking for anything to big, like where i have to modify the fenders. If someone could help me out that would be amazing, thank you.

235/75/r15


If you have new leaf springs and a 1" spacer up front you can run 30x9.5/r15


They will look great, and perform very well. The quality of the tire is more important than the size.
