I have 33x9.50's. I bought the XJ with them on.. I can't wait till they wear out so I can justify buying wider ones..

I ran my old XJ on these tires, I liked them. Even now, I'm only running 12.5's and they're 38's.

since you're question pertains to appearance, in my opinion they look dumb with stock or near stock backspaced rims. get rims with less backspacing so that they actually stick out a little and they'll look fine.

well, since the original question DID specifically ask about appearance (opinon based)
i would have to say that (especially) with a lifted rig, wider looks better
ive run 9.5's 10.5's and now im on 12.5's and i really like the way they look the best.
and for the amount of beach driving i do, they work really well. they do well on the highway too. (be careful with hitting big puddles at high speed though--XJ's are arent very heavy, and the wide tire+standing water+high speed could=bad news if you arent careful....but i havent had any problems)
as for function--tire width needs to be a function of where you do your driving. but thats a whole nother topic

I too am running the 34x10.5 LTB's. I'm running them on some baisc Rock Crawler rims, and they look just as burly as the 36x12.5's I ran wiht the same set up. I'm flare-less and they stick out about 1.5", look BA and throw plenty of mud.
