to keep your fender flares go with  31X9.5

well i took off my flares and then where it left a line on the fender i took a cut off wheel and cut the fenders out and i only have a 3" lift also but i think that you might need more back spacing but im not exactly sure sorry i do know that my back spacing is the same as yours though... ps where do they rub...

Starting out wrong! I purchased a 1999 cherokee, added a 3" Rusty"s lift, purchased 31x10.50x15 tires and had them mounted on AR-23 American Racing 15x8 rims. Well now the tires rub the fenders "big time" in the front when turning. I ordered the wheels per year/model! These wheels only come with a 3.75 back set! I am new at this and would never have thought about that being a problem! I want to keep the stock fender flares. What is the answer? What size tires can i put on these wheels and not rub? Please help before i mortgage the house on this project.
