I have an xj with a 3" rc lift and 31 10.5 on stock rims and am trying to decide what rim and tire combo to go with. I like a wide stance and would like to go up to 32s if possible. It will be mostly a daily drive with an occasional trip into the woods or the dunes thanks

3" Rustys full leaf/coil lift 33x12:50x15's you need a 15x8" wheel with 3.75" of BS the stock wheel is only a 7". You need the extra width to be able to air down when off road for traction and ride quality.

I have a 3" Trail Master suspension lift and run 31x10.50x15s on 15x8 rims with 3.75" of backspacing. I had to trim my fenders to keep the front from rubbing. I don't think the 3" was a full 3". More like 2". I like my 31's but I wish the lift was the height as advertised. Not sure about 32's but I think if you go up to 33's it's a good idea to regear your diff for the bigger tires.

Consider picking up a set of JK Rubi Take off's. Different wheel pattern, so you will need wheel adapters. But they are 255/75R17 which is approx 32" tire.

It works for now but I do want to replace it with something else later on. It was a pain to put on cause the adhesive isn't meant to be stuck on the reapplied so it's crooked in a couple places.
