yeah I don't see it happening

install some fender flares... consider TJ (rear) flares front and rear on your XJ... then with the right wheel it might work

there's a million threads on here about what tire will fit how much lift, why not just run 31's if it's gonna be your DD and you want it to get alright mileage

I couldn't fit my 31/11.5/15 TrXus AT's under my 4 1/2 inch lift without cutting my front wheel wells. You should put at least 5 1/2-6 inches in there to be safe...Tj

i have 34"s on 6.5 of lift with plenty of room.. but mine are only 11" wide.. with backspacing and they still rub a TINY bit (not up top or fenders but on my skid plate on the front at full turn)... seems like you would have to cut alot...

Why boggers if i may ask? they look cool and all but they are TERRIBLE on the road... and the road is TERRIBLE on them.. im running LTBS right now and ive never gotten stuck, and look mean enough to me.. way better on the street then my boggers were...
