I'm planning on doin a 6.5in lift on my 2000 xj. I've heard the biggest tire I can do without cutting is a 33.

My question is... will I be able to fit a 15x10in rim with 33x13.5 inch tires, and 1.5 inch wheel spacers? Or should I stick to 15x8 with 33x12.50s and 1.5in spacers

 

lifting dose not make the wheel wells bigger both combos will most likely rub while turning on the back side of the fenders

 

I know it won't make the wells bigger but it raises it making more Room for the tires. If not wouldn't everyone be riding on tiny tires and huge lifts lol....

There's no way everyone with a 6.5 and 33s rubs without cutting.... my question was the width not height.

 

why the 1.5" wheel spacers? just get wheels with the backspacing to cover that.

 

i dont know anything about backspacing...? is 4.0 backspacing good for a 15x10in rim...? with a 6.5 inch lift and 33x13.5in wheels?? lol or should i stick to 15x8's... im seriously confused

 

is backspacing similar to offset? im comin from a slammed car background. And how is it measured is 4.0=4"?

look on the top left, and you will see backspacing labeled.

basically, the less backspacing, the more the tire will stick out. in your case it looks like you'll want about 3.5", maybe even 3"

on a 13.5" wide tire, i think a 10" wide rim would work better than an 8".
