Wheels/tires/lift
Hey guys,
Finally found a 1998 Cherokee and now I'm trying to figure out the right lift/tire/wheel combination. I'd like to run a 33 inch or 35 inch tire. Can anyone point me in the right direction on the lift I'll need, if I'll need an 8 inch rim or 10, and the amount of offset needed?
I've been building street rods for years and now I'm tryn to figure out how to lift and gear to go slow instead of low and fast!
Thanks for any help,Tom

For 35s a 6.5 would be best, and for 33s 5.5 would be fine. As for wheels, how wide are your tires going to be? Anything wider than 12.5 would be good on 15x10 wheels. As for offset, do you like your tires sticking out? I see a lot of people on here run 4.0-3.5 backspacing(3.5 being the farthest sticking out).
