Thanks for the reply guys.

So with 15x8 and 4"Bs should I go with 30x9.5 or 30x10.

If you don't mind them sticking out a bit you can go 10.5 wide and 3.75 bs. That's where I started. Looks good. But I like the wider stance

Yeah most people just try to add more lift. When the majority of the time you just need to bumpstop.

Default 35'' tires?

hey guys, i was wondering, i have a cherokee with a 4.5 inch lift, and was wondering if i decided to put 35'' tires on it, if thats even a practical idea, most people iv talked to so far have said not to go any bigger then a 33's, because of gearing and rubbing and whatnot, but if anyone has done this, could ya help me out, what amount of offset would be needed for it to work, trimming, all that. thanks-

You've got 33s. Look at another inch all the way around, and consider what issues it might cause. A 2" larger tire will give you an inch of height. 35s are pushing it with stock gearing and axles. Some people say it's no problem; others say don't do it. I'm not sure what trimming you'd need cause I'm still stock with passenger tires but I'm already trimmed. Make sure you bumpstop properly and have wheels with good backspacing, and you shouldn't have any trouble with rubbing.

Ever since I added my 2 inch left my 4 wheel drive has been crazy. It won't come out of 4x4 and when it is in 4x4 it feels like its in low. Any idea?

Anyone run nitto mud grapplers? I seem to have more rubbing issues than I did before. Not sure if its the big lugs on the side or what. Just curious if anyone else has had any issues
