Stock xj Bigger Tires
I have a stock 2000 xj and I want a wider profile with bigger tires but I don’t want to lift it. It’s my daily driver and i do some off-road. What size tires and wheels should I use? Does anyone have pic or run this set up?

Biggest you can likely get away with will be 30x9.5x15 ,and these will be tight . Back spacing on your factory wheels may be an issue though as the wider tires will need to be pushed out further so they do not contact the LCA in a tight turn.

The weezy old 4.0 only had 190 hp when new, probably a lot less now 18 years later. Why just add more un-sprung weight and screw everything up?
A better move would be to replace the saggy old worn out rear springs (and shocks all the way around while you're there) to get the stance back.
