so add 4" to that. Shocks are usually good for a range (like 4-6" is common)

I'm sure this is answered in here, but 157 pages...... :\ So any help is GREATLY appreciated.
I have a 3.5" lift on a 2000 xj sport. I need new tires and I'm looking to pick up some bushwackers cut outs. I've been looking at spacers and for close to the same price I can get new wheels. What type of offset should I be looking for to line up nicely with the bushwackers? Also, I have 31's on right now and there's no rubbing. How much more clearance am I going to get with trimming for the bushwackers? With all the space the cutouts will give me, I don't want the 31's to look too small.
I'm looking at these tires, probably just going with 32's....

How close do you normally want the wheel width to the tire width? could you squeeze a 31x10.5R15 on a 15x8 wheel?
