Those will fit your wheels fine. At 3"s of lift you may have to trim a bit to make those fit.

32s

I run 31's on 3"s of lift and only had to trim a smidge off of the very bottom corners of the flares.

In short, yes. 255/75R/16's are 31 x 10.04 x 16's.

Yeah, I think they look much better than those cheap chrome caps that rust in 3 days.

In anyones opinion is the value of the rubicon express lift worth the additional money versus the rough country in the 3-3.5 lift range.
