well you will need new rims. and dont worry, if you dont want to lift it, you dont have to. and if you dont want to trim, you dont have to. the tires will self clearance the fenders.
but in all seriousness, you will have to have some combination of lift and/or trimming to run tires that size.

I guarantee that you won't need any body lift at all, it might be tempting but don't do it!

Its not going to happen without trimming or lifting. Unless you just don't want to turn at all.

and i know i will have to lift it but any lift you find says a max of 12.5 think it would clear with 5.5 long arm kit and wheel spacers

Wide wheels and tires on D30s. Sounds like a thread you'd fit into. Hope that helps.

7 or 8 inches for 33s? Maybe for 38s.

Bump stops and trim. That's all there is to it. If you don't want to trim the fenders don't put large tires on it. It's as simple at that. Keep your 31's and your fender sheet metal and be happy.
I run 5" and 35s and don't rub anywhere anytime.

im pretty sure hes saying that even with a lift, small tires can rub, let alone 33's. mine did. its not as much about lift as it is bumpstops and trimming

since when does more lift clear wider tires? adjust your steering stops, bump stop, and/or trim. max 4.5" lift

That was simply due to the wheels. You can run 30s on a stock XJ with NO rubbing, and NO cutting.
It all depends on wheel backspacing
5-6 is plenty for 37-39's and you will still get plenty of flex, ya just gotta trim
maybee 42's
