you can run 35's on 4.5 lift and it's better to wheel. go with the 4.5 RC LA set up

I Plan to fit some 33x10.5x15's to my '95 XJ with 2-3" of lift + trimming and bumpstopping as required. I want to try to get the tires to 'tuck' in the guards and I have found some +13mm 15x7 wheels that I think should do the trick

My question is will they have enough extra offset to let me still have a reasonable amount of steering?

The only other rims I can get her in NZ are -19mm 15x8's which will work but the tires will stick way out and it will be harder for me to get flares that will cover them (required here to be road legal)

3.25? or is that a typo and you mean 4.25? they don't look like they stick out far enough in the photo to be 3.25. Just from comparing with other photos on the forum of XJs on 33's with 4" or 3.75" backspacing
