Trim and you could fit whatever you want in there. No trim, something like a 30" tire would fit.

If your going to wheel it I would say stick with 30's. I have a 3.5" lift and 31's rub quite a bit when I flex.

Here's a 94 with a 2in. BB and 31's, you don't really want your wheels that close to the wheel well do you?

with the swaybars disconnected, and tires stuffed, it will rub... then again, I was running 31x9.50 superswampers... possibly they are a larger diameter than the typical bfg, goodyear etc.

I have a 3.5" lift and 33's and they barely rub, wen I ran 31's they never rubbed. Which kit do you have?


He's right though, if you are wheeling its gonna rub 31's. If your going for the look do 31's, If you want function get 30's.

Rubicon Express Super Ride. I like the look of stock fenders so im not gonna trim. If they get ripped off that's another story haha.
