Hi all,
I have a99 xj and was wondering what size tires I should put on it. I have a 3" rough country lift to put on it. I was gonna go with 31x10.5 but thought that may be a little too much. I dont want to cause a problem with my transmission and I don't want to have to change gears. This will be my daily driver for a while. What are yalls thoughts?

 

are your fenders trimmed? if they are it might look a lil' funny with 30's but if you have the feder flares on 30's would look just fine

 

Hi and welcome to CF from Tj...That size tire is perfect for the lift you have and should be fine as a DD...Tj

 

Im running a 3 inch lift with 31x10.5 R15s and it does just fine not to mention it is my daily driver and I put roughly 45 miles on it a day. The only problem I've ever had with the setup was the tires would rub when I went down my driveway. I just heated up my razor knife and trimmed a little of the inner part of the flares. The problem hasn't happened since. My gas mileage is about 15 city so it hasn't dropped much. I don't really notice any gearing issues so im sure its fine.

 

Thanks guys. That helps allot. I wanted to make sure. This forum is great!

 

weird what you guys are sayin, I've got a 2 inch lift in the rear and no lift in the front and im rolling on 31.5's with no rubbing unless i take coners like a jackass.

 

have any pics of it with a 2inch lift in the rear?

 

I'll take som tomorrow and throw em up when i can. the thing is sick looking.

 

i thought of doing that but i wasnt sure how it would look,i have my front fenders trimmed up and i just need a lil' extra room in the rear for 31's

 

Id like to see that too. It would be great to keep the front end stock.
