Default 3 inch lift

Can anyone show me an XJ with a 3 inch lift and with P235 75R 15s I want to see what mine would look like, my tires still have a year left in tread and I want to use them up. After that should I get 31s or 32s

First picture is the front that has some 225s on it with a rough country 3" lift. Second pic is with 4 new 31x10.50s

It'll look different till you get used to it... I kinda like it now but thats just me. 31's on stock rims will rub on the control arms and possibly the fenders. Get more backspacing to fix rubbing the CA's but for the fenders you might have to trim them

So would back spacing be easier than trimming fender flares, I don't really want to do that

with those mud claws i had to trim the front and back corners of my front dender flares just a hair because the very outer lugs of my tires will catch there if i get it twisted up
