I run 10" wide wheels with 3.75" BS, but this is with 33x12.5s on ~4.5"-5"
They stick out pretty far, even under TJ flares.

I would probably go for 31's on a 3" lift but I don't think 30's will look out of place. As for death wobble no one knows until you get it lifted, but at 3" you will probably be fine as long as your front end is correct and aligned (you'll want to check all tie rod ends, ball joints & bushings up front).

I'm sure its been asked a bajillion times but how big of a tire can fit a 3" lift without trimming (on 3.75" BS wheels)...I was just about to search it but you went and brought the subject up...
