Cuz i got this jeep from an elderly lady that took really good care of it, never been stored outside its whole life (since 93) only had 59,000 miles, and the paint and body is in really good condition, so i dont want to cut up the fenders. and i think 31's or 32's will be plenty....just out of curiosity, would a slim 33 fit? like 33 tall, and around 9.5 wide?

I'd go with 31x10.5x15 and call it a day. It will look fine and shouldn't hit anything. I have no issues.

Edit: however my front is trimmed.

I have 265/70r16 MTZs on my 96 with a 3.5" lift and only had to remove about 1/2" of (pointless)plastic on the rear bottom corner of the wheel wells. They still rub something once a year when I have it cranked all the way right and compress the right wheel (like rolling fast around the turn into the parking lot at the supermarket in Moab) but it's nothing serious, just another jeep noise at this point!

definitley have enough for 32" of clearance. i have a 3" lift on my jeep and i have on 265 18 70 and they measure about 31.75 so 33 probably would rub a little bit

On my old Jeep I had 3" lift with 33x10.5 tractor tires and they only rubbed a little bit (but that was only 3"...)

Also, if your tires are just barely rubbing you can trim some of the pointless plastic under the wheel wells and nobody will ever notice (unless they stick their head under the Jeep)

i could do some minor trimming like that, i just dont wanna mess with my fendors or fender flares. i think the most ill do is like 32x11.50, that will work fine for me
