As long as they're 6061T6 aluminum, your good. I've run two sets of spacers off ebay with no problems.

38s and "cheap" don't go together.

Right now i have stock tires they suck! but anyways ... and i was wondering how my xj will work with those... daly driver, highway, "upstate" weekend trip, nothing mild or extreme for the moment but definitely some offloading situations... i know i will have to get a lift kit too but lets do one and then the other ... to be honest mi ideal is a smaller rim, ..before this i offer was thinking on swapping 3.5'' lift kit with 31/10.5/r15... but now I'm confused, think this is a good offer... ... please help, advise or critic, and if you have pictures of that setup please share, Thank you.
I'm at 3" with 32s and it drives great. Power loss with the 4.0 is almost unnoticeable plus I think it looks pretty good. Did take a little trimming. But 3.5 should clear fine. And if you get new tires and wheels of that size it's gonna cost you at least a grand. My opinion if it seems to check out, I'd jump on it

Im currently sitting at 3in of lift on front and back with 31in tires (front measured 20in and rear 20.5) im looking to lift the front to a total of 4.5in (4.5 RE Coils, Fixed LCA's, drop pitman arm, f350 sway bar links) and the rear to remain the same (Should sit level from what I measured) How would 15x8 rims with 3in BS and 32x11.5's fit? I would rather not trim the fender any. I know I will need to set the bump stops but That will have to wait till after so I can measure for proper length. I just couldnt really find any pics/info out there with that BS. Thanks

Anything over 31 will require trimming XJ's are plagued with tiny wheel openings, I am currently running 33x10.50's on 3.5" lift tomorrow I am throwing on my 35x12.50's on the same lift.

Yup same pattern

The tires do look good. Side biters not as deep as duratracs or km2 per say. Tread looks good plus the sipping is a huge plus. Thing is, what ply is the bottom and sides. That's key. Def, check Google for further reviews
