Just bought my first XJ this morning. Its a '98 and really clean. Price was right and I couldn't pass it up. My problem is the tires stick out from the fender wells 1 - 2". Previous owner installed a 3" lift (add a leaf), 31" BFG tires and an Auburn locker but never took it off road (most have thought it looked cool). I live and drive on a lot of gravel roads and I hate to screw up perfectly good paint with rock chips. Am I better off getting fender flares or getting different rims with more backspacing to bring the tires in further? What backspacing would I need. Any help and advise is greatly appreciated.
