Hey guys I have a tire/wheel question. I just bought a used set of 31x10.5x15 BF Goodrich AT KO's. I got a really good deal that I just couldnt pass up. I now have a stock 2000 xj classic that I just got (2wd stock suspension and 16 inch tires) I am looking into getting a set of 15x8 MT sidebiters for these new tires. My question is do I have to lift my jeep to get these tires to fit? I will not be going off road at all with this jeep anytime soon. I thought maybe I could trim the fenders and put a set of bush wackers on and that would hold me for a while, but I am not sure how much I would need to trim. The reason I am not wanting to lift it right now is because everything I have read it seems like the 99-2001 xj's get drive line vibes even if you put a 2" BB on and I dont want to sink the money into a SYE and driveshaft and the labor cost that it will take to install it. So what do you think I should do? Trim the fenders and add bushwackers or just bite the bullet and lift it and spend the extra cash on the SYE and other stuff to do it right? Any help would be appreciated because I am a newbie with all this jeep and lift stuff, I am a mustang guy and am just getting ionto this jeep world.

Since its not gonna see any offroading, a two inch spacer and shackle lift or AAL will be fine. A set of 15x8's with 3.75 backspacing and maybe some minor trimming should be ok. It might rub while flexing but your not gonna be doing any of that. I think 31's on a 2"bb looks good.

If you're just putting 31s on a stock suspension, you're fine. Your only problem will be some rubbing on your control arms if you turn your steering wheel to full lock. Depending on the backspacing of your wheels, your new tires may rub your fenders, but you could fix that with bumpstops.
3 5/16" according to quadratec. My jeep is white so I wanted some black rims and I like the look of the Sidebiters. So you don't think that I would need to trim the fenders just to drive it on the road? If I turn the wheels to fulllock you are saying that the tires would hit the inside of the fenders?

I have pretty much decided on the sidebiters and they have a BS of
3 5/16" according to quadratec. My jeep is white so I wanted some black rims and I like the look of the Sidebiters.

You should not get any vibes what so ever at 2". NONE. If you did, it would be the first time i've ever heard of a 2" bb having vibe issues. You usually only got to worry about vibes at 3-3.5".
Those tires and rims should be fine for on road. If they scrub it'll be on the bottom corners of the fenders. Minor trimming will suffice.
