You don't want a 3" shackle lift on stock packs. You'll destroy them.

 

This. Im betting it'd give a ****ty angle also...

 

Sorry I didn't see his second post.

 

No harm, no foul

 

I am looking to put some 235's on my stock XJ and would like them to stick out like an inch or so of the wheel wells, what size Crager D Windows should I get? I am sticking with 15" wheels.

 

3.75-4" of backspacing.

 

Which one will give an inch or so? Id like one inch but a little more would be fine. Also if I am sticking with stock tire dimensions do I get the 7.5" or 8"?

 

The higher the number, the less it will stick out. Stock backspacing is 5.25". You'll probably want a 7" wheel if you're on stock tires, but if you want to upgrade tire sizes at some point you'll probably want an 8" wheel.

 

Ok so I'll get the 3.75 back spacing. If I get 8" wheels what size tire do I get? 235/80r15?

 

You don't need an 8" wide wheel until you get to a 12.5" wide tire. Even if you get 31x10.5s later on, they'll be good on a 7" wheel.

 

Ok ill stick with 7" wheels now what size tire do I get?

 

Well you said 235, so the most common would be 235/75R15.

 

X2 or you if you could find em (kinda hard to come by) you can run some 255/70/15s on stock height and 7"wheels. it'll be about the same overall height but will be as wide as a 31. Definitely give it a stance for stock height

 

I am currently looking to invest in some bigger wider tires... what is the good the bad and the ugly about retread tires?

I haven't seen a single bad review since the company changed hands four years ago. If they have my size next time I buy, they'll get my money.
