Hey all I'm buying some tires here pretty soon that won't be driven on the road much, if at all. My work commute and whatnot will be done on the factory good years.

Here's my question:
I have removed the fender flares and am in the process of building some flat tube fenders. If the fender flares were not an issue...what size tire do you think you could comfortably fit when you're all flexed out? Think it would change at all?

Assume we're talking lifted KJ with the welds pounded and whatnot.

<edit: Oh yeah and the front and rear bumpers are being replaced as well so those are out of the way as well.>

I think the biggest you can get on their would be 265's on a 3 inch lift if you want to stuff the tires.

265/75 and 235/85 are about the same height - 32", but you may run into width issues with the 265's. The 32's will stuff into the well and you'll want to modify your bumpstops...
