3.5" and 32's. They will fit and you should be fine if you don't wheel it. You will probably have to trim the fender flares a little bit so it doesn't rub when your are on a slight incline but nothing noticeable. The second picture was taken right before the flare was ripped off. My fenders hated me after that trip, bushwackers were installed the next day.

Well, I definitely ****ed up by ordering 32s. Not sure what I was thinking, I just thought man I would like some decent sized tires but nothing huge that's going to rub like crazy.
Looks like any way I look at it though with 3 inches of lift (more like 3.5 actually) I'm going to be rubbing. I really didn't want to have to cut my fenders or do anything crazy since my Jeep is mostly just for daily driving and going to the mountains.
Eh, I guess the only thing I can do is put the tires on when they get here and see how bad the verdict is.

Yes, I'm probably worrying too much.
I DO want to get into off-roading but I just don't want to use this Jeep Cherokee for it. It's the most pristine showroom quality Cherokee I have ever seen. Not a single scratch or ding anywhere on it and 25k miles on a brand new crate engine. That being said, this is why I don't want to cut into this thing too much (at least not anything that I couldn't reverse.
When I decide to do some serious off-roading I'll buy a beat up Cherokee that I won't have to worry about scratching. This one I have now is just to get me to the mountains, drive on the beach, and other light stuff like that.

as soon as you get those babies on and see how it looks you'll be glad you went with them. With your wheels you will be absolutely fine on the street.

I currently have a 3.5" lift on my WJ and 31" tires, however the thread is pretty much over, so I will be looking for a new set. Hopefully 32s will fit. Will try them anywhere next week and let you guys know about the result. As per this fitment list they should fit https://4x4projects.com/jeep-grand-c...eel-specs.html

I have 3.5" lift and some flat flares to put on and then plan on 32s so I'm interested in how this all turns out. But if I were you I would go with 31s and call it done.
