Best tire for my lift combo?

ZachMan · Nov 4, 2005

Alright just bought a '99 XJ Sport and I am cutting the fenders to where there is no lip left. I am installing an RE SF 3.5" and going to run 15x8" RCs in probablly 4.25"/4"/3.75" Backspacing. There are no fender laws here. I'll probably be running KMs so they will run a little small. I will be regearing to 4.56s also. So what tire? And does anyone have a pic of this setup?

32x11.50

33x10.50

33x12.50

We run a P285/75R 16 with this set up. It's basically the 33 X 10.50 on stock 2000 XJ Freedom 16" alloy wheels. Works great. With an aftermarket wheel with some backspacing the 33 X 12.50's would work as well.

285/75s are my first choice actuallt, but I saw that they are $195 compared to $149 for 33x10.50s. I'd like the 285s more just cause they are 11.2"ish wide, but ohh well.

So you think a 33x12.50 would work okay?

Its getting cut just like the one below. Should be how much bumpstop, lol.

33*12.5*15 (32.8" actual), 15*8 wheels w/ 4" backspace on 5" of lift:

With stock flares:

But those flares needed to come off so I ended up with:

Needs lots of bumpstop too....

Thanks Norcal, thats exactly what I'm doing. Do they rub any at full lock or full stuff? How much bumpstop you running?
