I knew they were wider in the pic but it kind of an exaggerated statement to say "Hey, these are gna look ridiculous"

I got a buddy that runs 35x14.5 and I think they look great. That pic of the wrangler is just stupid. Heres some REAL 33x15.5

12" wide wheel with 3" BS or less would work. Just will need to trim the poop out of the fenders and bumpstop

I think it looks perfect on that wrangler. I'd have to see it on a cherokee though. But, for me at least, the wider the better.

Im running 35x15x15 and they run great. If I try to go full lock I just barely get into the side lugs on my factory lowers.. if I rounded that nice little lip down or cut it off I wouldnt rub at all. I dont know the BS on my rims though. They are 10x15 I belive. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f36/ne...6305/index154/ Look at post #2308 << Oh another thing.. im only at 3.5 inches of lift

HOLY HELL. Those tires look BEASTLY on your jeep. I would definitely go for it, just get some 15x12 wheels.

^^^x2 agreed. 10.50s - 12.50s are plenty wide enough for the XJ. If you are planning on building a rock crawling rig only theres no need for such a wide tire. Unless your trying to pull off the Hispanic culture look I say go for it!!!!! lol
