Time for new tires

You can fit 31x10.50s without serious rubbing. The rubbing will depend upon what type, and how much, offroading you do. If the rubbing is too much for you, then you can install a 1" body lift in an afternoon.

Jeff, if that's a 93 YJ, he would probably be better off with 30", rather than "31. While I have seen 31s on YJs, they are usually pretty crowded.

I agree, but they can work. My dad and my brother both run 31s on their YJs. My brother added 1" of body lift to get the clearance he wants, and my dad gets some mild rubbing in his brand of offroading. My dad is approaching 80, so he is not all that rough in his travels. He does enjoy getting out and about though.

You're right. A 1" body lift helps. I hope I'm still off roading at 80! God bless your Dad!

When I got my YJ it had 31x10.5 on factory wheel. There was not enough clearance, not even street use, IMHO. The tires would rub the flairs and was creating and added arc to the flair. To cure that I added a 1" body lift. It helped but still did not get it all. So on went the Rubicon Express 2.5" extreme duty lift. and I trimed about 1" off of the flairs.

I would suggest that if you go with 31x10.5 tires you should also get a 1" body lift even for just street use. It all really depends on what you plan on doing.

So I could go 30 x 9.5 with no lift and no rubbing at all on a 93? For street use only?

That should work fine.
