New Rims And Tires

[jmeslo]

I just ordered a 3" lift kit for my 89 MJ and I'm looking at http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Series-7069-16x8-with-5-on-4-5-Bolt-Pattern-Flat-Black-Machined.aspx?t_c=11&t_s=210&t_pt=100073&t_pn=PXA7069-6865 want to go with BFG ATs but want to make sure I get the right size so I have little to no rubbing and no issues any ideas on what size I should go with?

Maybe 31s, If you do get some bigger tires, swap out the lower contol arms from a WJ. Should help minimize or get rid of the rubbing.

Decided on a smaller rim going with these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mtt-90000001747/overview/ and BFG All Terrains 31"/10.50/R15. It should be done by next Friday I will be sure to post the final product.

Holy moly!

 

3-5/8" backspacing, and an 8" rim? You're going to have a LOT of rubbing with that setup. The inner rim/bead is going to be an inch and a half farther outboard than stock rims, and then add another inch of wheel width and suddenly your tires are going to sit two and a half inches farther out than stock. You won't rub the control arms, but I'll almost bet you'll be hitting the flares when you [try to] turn, and the tires will whack the flares when the suspension compresses.

Why not put the tires on the stock rims?
