Default 3" RC lift...will 32x11.5x15 fit?

I was just wondering on which size tires i want to go with on my 1998 XJ. I have a 3" RC lift and was thinking if I should go with 31x10.5 or the 32x 11.5. I plan on doing fender trimming and Im pretty sure I'll have enough flex room still left to go offroading. Can anyone help me out on this one and give me a lil more advice, since i am new to the XJ world.

with a little trimming yes...

I ran 285/75/16 (actual 33.25 x 11.25) on an RC 3" lift...

lots of trimming... but it worked pretty well

Check out my build thread. I have pics of both 31x10.50 and 33.12.50 on my XJ with 3" lift. Take into account the amount of trimming I have done.
