Hello,
My XJ has been riding on 31's for too long, and I want to go bigger. 33" is the aim, at as little lift as possible. Currently I'm on 2" OME, will be BB'ing it to about 3,5", maybe 4". So I want the tires to tuck inside the fenderwells, especially in the rear where they are narrower in the opening (i have cut the sheetmetal behind my stock flares and attached them at the outer edge). Also I don't want to lose too much turning radius in front. Have been thinking of getting WJ arms, if they help the turning any, or will 33" be too big to hit the arc of the WJ arms? Are there other lower control arms that swing away from the tire and can be bought separately?
So I wonder what wheel offset I should be looking at. I think I have decided on 8" wide rims. Any experience, ideas, tips etc?
I want Outlaw 2's, but they only come in -19mm offset, I've been thinking that's too far out, but I'm not sure anymore as I currently rub the control arms with 31x10,5 and 7" stock rims on 20mm offset. Rocky-road sells rims with selectable backspacing in 1/2 inch increments.
Thanks for all help! :viking:
