My XJ has 2-3 inches of lift and it still has the stock 235/75/R15 on it. Do you guys think i could fit 31 inch 10.5 bfg's??

They will fit, but they will rub on your fender flares. So you will have to trim a little.

I've had 31x10.5 LTBs with no lift, but fenders were cut. They'll fit your jeep but some trimming might be needed.

BFG 31s are only 30" so you'll be fine. Your 235s are close to 29 so it's not that big a difference.

well I would say yes, but only a little

and if you are going to trim you might as well trim more... go bigger, like 33s

I had to trim on a 3" lift with crager soft 8s wrapped in 285/75/16 (32.5 x 11.25)

the issue will be the front, but at 31" it will be minor

the rears clear fine for the street (but they will rub on hard aticulation)
