I'm going to do a 2-3 inch lift on my 97 xj, I want to get new wheels for it, any recommendation on what sides rims I will need?

15s. Or 16s. Or whatever you like.

Or are you asking about backspacing?

I'm real new to these things, I've been fixing everything under the hood and ready for new totes and wheels, I just dont want it to look weird when I lift it.
