is that right? what is that, like a 28x8x15? i see no reason they would rub anywhere unless your stock springs were badly sagged. thats a VERY small step up from a stock tire. you could probably step up to 235/75/15s with no issues at all.
 
If they are true to height like most interco tires, than you should be alright. You might get a little rubbing on the outer most corners of the flares. That tire works out to a 29x8.4R15, very interestng size to run.
 
If you get anywhere near sand with those, yer heeps gonna spend a lotta time imitating a nesting sea turtle...the tread is extremely agressive for a tire that small.
 
i would get shackles/blocks and go to a 30x9.5 or a 235/75/15 but they dont make a swamper in that size. i am geting a 3.5 RE in january anyway, this is just for the time being, thanks for the info, and if anyone else has any pics it would be greatly appreciated
 
i figure as long as i have no rubbing issues they'll be fun to have til january when i get a 3.5 RE lift and some 31x10.50's on. i have a tendency to just go wheelin at any given time if i see a place i might be able to, so i figured why not try swampers on a stock XJ, they couldent be any worse than the bull ish tires i have now that came on the jeep. anyway, thanks for the help, i'll post a pic when i get them on seeing as i guess nobody has any.
