What ever size you are comfortable with. Im running 35's & same lift. A lot of trimming though, do you want to trim? Consider that too :-)

33's are the ticket with a wide range to choose from. Get some bumps top extensions and you'll be good.

The front looks bad cuz the fender got a dent, so its been pulled out. The back was cut past (above) the spot welds then rewelded. Slight, hardly noticeable rubs at full flex. So 32-33's would be ideal if you dont want to try trimming, a lot

First thing I did when I got my Xj was trim. Bone stock, and took it to my buddy (fabricator). we measured what a 4.5" lift would look like and possibly 35" tire max. Ended up getting 35's and it runs good. W guessed pretty good,i would say.

Well if you don't want to cut you can run a 33x10.50 15 tsl or a 34 10.50 15 tsl ltbs they wont be as wide and get in your fenders and still fill up the space great
