I vote wheels. With 33's, you are bound to be rubbing somewhere. New wheels would look good and serve a purpose too.

Discos are for you front sway bar, so when you go wheeling you have more articulation.

I think some cragar soft 8 wheels would look good on your XJ. You can never go wrong wit the H4 HID headlight conversion either.

I would get the new wheels if you are rubbing, before you break something.

Is it possible to break the sway bar that way? Or will it just be annoying.

What size backspacing should I be looking for? Or offset at that.

3.75-4. I recommend getting bushwacker flares or re-gear. How's your XJ driving with those 33s?

Actually aside from the gas mileage being horrible it drives great!.

I had been thinkin about getting the flat flares... but I saw a Cherokee about an hour ago with them, and to be honest it was kinda ugly... Haha
Just didn't look right.
