If you want to trim the **** out of your fenders you can run 35s. If not, 31s, possibly 32s depending on backspacing and width.

30s or 31s as is and up to 33 maybe with some major trimming. My dad's XJ has, what I think is, a 6.5" lift and 33s and they look pretty stuffed but it's a good look. My 31s rubbed at first with a 4" so my dad attacked it with his sawzall. All better!
Really though, 31s at max.

It can be done, just trim and bumpstop. I run 33's at 4.5" and I would like to lower it some
