so its time for some new rubber...i currently have near 5" lift in the front and about 6" in the rear...31x10.5" BFG AT ko mounted on 15x7 eagle wheels. i think they have 4.5" or close to stock backspacing. anyway, the axles are from an '84 xj with stock 3.73 gear ratio.

should i go with 31x10.5 again, or go larger. i haven't done any fender trimming, this is a dailly driver. i was thinking 32x11.5, or 33x9.5. what do you think

iv'e got the peugeot 5-speeed, will it drive like a dog with 33s"?

I just got done running 32x10.5's@5",they rubbed a little w/ stock wheels.Be careful w/ your backspacing,I just went to 33x10.5's w/ 5.5" lift and they are rubbing everywhere!

I vote for 32's, I have 33's and 4.10 and the AX-15, I like it a lot. It's just right, I had 31's with 4.10, it was great offroad, but felt it was too low for extended Highway use.

That the real problem!I was running 265/75/16's(32x10.5) and wanted to go to 15" rims.The only tire I found was the TSL's,thatswhen I decided to just go to the 33's.
