Tire size recommendation

[davidh190]

Hi guys, I was wondering what you recommend for the 3” Rusty’s lift. Would 31’s be too big? I want taller and wider tires. This is what I have on my stock rims.

31s will fit fine.   maybe a bit of rubbing on the lower control arms at full lock if running factory rims.  shouldn't be that bad.  does the fit you're looking at come with lower arms?

Most 31's are actually around ~30-1/2" tall and ~10.5" wide. Your existing P235/75R15 tires are 28.9" tall and 9.3" width. So 31's will be fine.

Installed the WJ arms. From a 99 WJ to be more specific.

excellent.   you may need to shim the arms to get some of your caster back at a 3" lift.

Thank you sirs! I’m aiming for a 4WD conversion (so many questions too!). Should I wait to change my tires until after the conversion?
