Default What's your opinion....

I have lost count on how many times i have changed my mind. I've been back and forth mainly because my xj is a daily driver. So i appologize, But i'm at the point where i'm just gonna do what i want with alittle compromise.

I want to do an IRO 4" lift with some sort of 3.75- 4"bs wheel.
How do you guys think my rig would look with backspaced wheels and the 235 duratracs that i have on it now? Would it be stupid or acceptable.

Like i've said before; i am stuck with these tires for the next 2 years. At that time i would def do 30's and would concider 31's. this being my DD it would prolly be 30's.

Which is the reason why i want to do a backspace change when i get wheels.

SOOOOOO.... what say ye...all.
thanks in advance.

They're probably going to look a little small but not horrible. I had 235's on mine sitting on about 3" front and 3.75" lift rear and it looked decent. Definitely wouldn't have rubbed like my 31's do now.

You could just do a budget boost for now and get the IRO later. A combination of coil spacers and a bastard pack would keep the cost down. And some jk shocks I believe (which means do some research first).

Yeah i allready thought about doin that too.

I'm lookin into doin a 3" full pack with new wheels. then maybe later putting a bb on top of that when i need tires. this way i have about 2 yrs to gather the bb.

Only thing now is to determine if 4"bs would be ok on a 3" lift or should i do 4.5bs. or stock bs. So i'm looking around on here at pics and searchin to decide on what to do.

thanks for helpin out though. i appreciate it.

No prob. I have 4.25" bs with 1.5" spacers if you want to look at some of my pics. Soon will have wheels with 3.75" bs for road driving.
