Hey everyone, I've got a set of 35x12.5x16 tires that I am going to put on my 01 XJ. I was wondering if they would be too wide for the stock 16" wheel. I believe its 8" width, right? Don't worry about lift, they'll fit. More concerned about tire popping off rim while off-roading and rubbing while turning. Let me know, thanks.

The factory 16's i have are onlt 7" wide.
Which is to narrow for a 12.5 tire.

No. It would be easier to pop it off a 10" wide wheel.

general consensus around the shop here is that 7 will be ok.

yeah, I knew that...it's not a big deal... I don't have stock wheels anyways, so I don't know what the backspacing is... (they were used, and i'm too lazy to check)
