CheapXJ over on NAXJA(.org), he's probably here too...

I would say 33's that is what I run with 5" lift and I had to trim quite a bit.

is it official now?

xj's have taken over PBB. :shaking:

Yeah, you can get 33's on it. It would be better with an 8" rim, though, unless you already have the 10" rims. Problem with hacking the fender wells too much is that you don't want to cut through the pinch welds, the body twists and flexes too much already. Fold the pinch welds over making a smooth surface to rub against and cut to your hearts content on everything else.

One problem spot is the corner at the forward top of the front wheel well, under the battery on pass side and under the air box on the drivers side. You can cut three slits in the corner along the edges, fold them over and weld them up. Welding that thin galvenized metal is fun.......

You're right about one thing...15x10 rims are gay for any tire, esp 33's. Other than that, cut the front and rear as high as you like. After you cut the rear you'll have to beat the inner fender higher up into the wheelwell or just take it out completely. Not that those add much structurally at all, but you should have a cage anyway so that wont matter.

:edit: now that I think about it, this whole fawking thread is gay and will hopefully soon be deleted :shaking:

Thanks Everyone

Haha, I love Cheap's rigs... that's how moddin' rigs should be!
My buddy runs 33s on a 7" wheel and a 4.5" lift. He has it trimmed to hell, and I'm sure he couldeasily run 35s without rubbing.

i'm running 15x8's on 33x12.50's with a 5.5" lift currently, and i don't rub. I like my sawzall, so that may have some bearing on my "rubbability" :D

is it official now?
