Bump to the top.....

I have a 3 inch suspension lift and am curious of the maximum tire size I can run. Also thinking about doing the 3" body lift for a total of 6".......

Re: Tire advice
 

3 inch suspension is only good for 31 maybe 32 with a lil rubbing

crazydean45, 33" will fit on a 3" body lift.
Kusto, If your planning on offroading I'd suggest a 4" susp lift and 2" body lift instead of a 3"+3" to get you to 6", more articulation that way and not quite as unstable for the short wheelbase. Personal opinion only.

It has a 3.5" suspension lift in it now and has approximately 33" tires already. I just purchased it and am looking over my options now. Just curious if rim off set makes a big difference with rubbing issues???

Currently no rub but I want to switch up the rims and need to know if there is an optimum off set (4")? I would like to run an 11" or 12" wide tire also for a little better flotation in soft ground conditions.

I will be running the bushwhacker flares as well.

Definitely does, the wider the tire you need smaller backspacing. Can't remember what the stock is 5.5 or 6" for the YJ's.
I've got 265/75-16's on my WJ with 4.5" of BS and I still have very minor rubbing at full lock in reverse. Stock was 225/75-16's with 6" of BS

Decided to go with 33 x 12.5 x R15" on an 8" rim with 5 on 4.5 and 3.75" backspace. Once they arrive and I get them installed I will let you know how they work out. I hear this configuration will allow me to run really low tire pressure in soft ground conditions for improved flotation.
