4.5 on 31s,32s or 33s
Hey guys I've got a 99 cherokee. I'm planing on putting a 4.5 inch la lift on it. I don't want to remove the stock flares. What size tires should I get? Yesterday I saw one with 31 12.50s and it looked pretty good but I know 31s are normally for a 3 inch lift. What do you think would be best? 31s 32s or 33x12.50? Also does anyone make a 32 12.50? Thanks guys!

Check to see if the max tire size is listed with the lift. And I'm doing a similar thing with mine. I don't want to trim the fenders so I'm going a size smaller than the max tire size cause I want to be sure they have room to move.

Like the bottom sides of the wheel well not the top lip, heres a better pic to see where it's rubbing, you can see where it's barely caring on the bottom of the wheel well
