Looking to put some 33 12.50's on the son's XJ. We have some lift, 4"+/-, on it now, still unbdecided where we will end up with that part, we have some 6.5" lift coils and may go on up, not sure yet.
What backspacing are y'all running for a similar setup?
 
I ran 31x10.50s on 15x8 with around 3.5" backspace on my old xj with 4" lift and still had to do a lot of trimming. I had it set up for lots of up travel though.

This is my 3rd XJ, I've ran them all different ways. My last 2 have rocked a 4" lift with 31s and I love that best. Great road manner, still very capable and doesn't wear out things or brake them easily.

This jeep is 4" lift with trimmed fenders.
 
I have a 4.5in lift on mine with trimmed fenders. It has 33x12.5's with 2.25in backspacing. It gives it a wide stance and you can self spot a little since you can see the tread while driving. Sorry the pic isn't that close.

IMO I've always liked these wheels on a Cherokee.
