Re: [AMC-List] OT: Tires and wheels

Depending on the backspacing (if its more than 4.75"), you may contact the lower control arms with the tire right at lock.  I run Moabs on my 98 XJ and all I had to do was adjust my steering stops out a bit, but that was for 33's.  With stock tires, you may not even have a problem.  That tire size is probably the most you can do on a stock XJ.  Most people have fender flare contact issues when running the Rubicon take-off's (245/75r16) with no lift.  Taking the flares off solves the issue, but that looks like crap.  I refuse to take mine off with 6" of lift and 33's, but I can't wheel it until I either lift it a couple more inches or install some aftermarket flares.
