Just remember for future reference cause it touches some nerves here, you don't have a v6 its an IL6 meaning inline or also called a straight six. You need 4.5 x 5 wheels with something like inch and three quarter backspacing but yea the thirty twos will fit is adjust bumpstops as well

With some trimming, yes. 15"x8" wheels with 3.75"-4.00" backspacing should suffice for 32"x11.5"x15" tires.

And I apologize in advance, but you said you have a 4.0L V6? You do not have a V6, you have an I6. V6's are not true Jeep engines... Again, sorry.

Honestly, 31's if you're not planning on doing any flexing or hard offroading. 30's if you plan to flex a bit. I have 3.5" lift and 31's and I'll still rub when flexing.

15"x8" rim with 4" backspacing is ideal. 31"x10.5" is pretty standard. Mine stick out only a little but it gives the Jeep a good stance.

Thanks dude. Yea, I'm not sure if they have 31's in 11.5" width. They may, but I can almost guarantee it would be more expensive because it's not a common size. Google it. If they're out there, then Google will find it lol.

They only way to tell if you need an sye is to lift it and see if you have vibes. Duratracs are by far the best tire I have EVER used! If you are gonna air down in the woods I would get a 15x7 so you have less chance of blowing the tire off the bead. Oh and make sure you get full packs. AAL sucks
--thanks for the info--i dont think the 31x10.5x15 will fit on a 15x7--thats a stock rim size--i know 30x9.5x15 fit--on 15x7 though--
