tire and rim ?

[jackobotz]

I am buying these tires
Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar Tire 31x10.50R15LT and rims to go with them. what width should the rim be?

Also with a 2 and half inch lift and half inch shackle lift could I fit 32" tires?

By everything I've researched, you should be able to go 8" and maybe 7". I'd go for 8's.

32" tires should fit fine and you MAY be able to do 33's.

8 in will work fine for 31s ive got 33s on 8s no problems and they are 12.50s

just make sure you have the right off set on rims if not you will have issues

3" lift will be close with 32" tires, the YJ's have some pretty tight fenders. You can always trim the flares slightly or, even better, install TJ fender flares for more clearance.

I think I'll stick with the 31s, 3.75 inch back space is good right?

yes thats plenty good

My best friend just bought new rims , tires, lift kit and fender flares for his TJ. He made me an offer i could not pass up, his 5 33s on craiger soft 8s and his fender flares for $600.00. So it looks like I am adding a 1 inch body lift, trimming some wheel well and adding TJ flares. Gonna be a busy weekend, I just bought new exhaust , manifold to tail pipe. I hope the weather is good.
