Tires too small?

I have a 95 Zj Grand Cherokee that I use as my daily driver. It has 5" of lift up front and 4.5" in the rear. It has 32's on it now that are worn out..I found a deal on a set of 30/11.50/15 Super Swamper TSL SX tires. Would these tires be way too small for my lift? I'd really like to get some of my power back I once had when the Jeep was stock, oh and some extra mpg wouldn't hurt either :) It's never been offroad and I don't plan on it going offroad. Thanks for the help!
 
It would look cool like this.....

might not be too bad if offset is ok
 
You'd also be unlikely to gain back much fuel economy with such a wide aggressive tread heavy tire.

I am assuming your wore out 32's are 11.50 wide?

If you can find them, a set of 33x10.50R15 BFG all terrain might not be a bad choice for you. I had a 96 ZJ and had 4.5" lift and 33x10.50R15 BFG mud terrains on it, it looked perfect and still had decent power and economy (stock gears, was a V8 though). With the 33x10.50 AT's you'll still be down on power but, you'd have better fuel economy and looks than you would with those tiny swampers! Also, an all terrain will be MUCH more street friendly tread than a swamper!!!
