30x9.5 fits stock i put 30x9.5 geostar radial at's on my 87 bone stock with even saggier springs then yours. with the offset of your rims they will rub the control arms.

I took the XJ for it's first longer drive today( about 120 miles). I spent a few hours yesterday fixing the "no buS" guage issue, which is when the the ABS light and Check engine light come on, all the guage needles stop working and the odometer just says "no buS". I cleaned all the contacts, slightly bent the pins for better contact and put it back together. It all seems to be working. I also found that the rear main seal has a moderate leak, which will need to be fixed at the next oil change. Hopefully I can get the "new" tires and rims on the Jeep Sunday.
It still needs a lot of TLC, but it is getting there.
PaulW:
the rear main is an easy project, just don't let it go to long, oily messes suck when you have to work under the truck.

Today I put my 30's on, and wow they make the XJ look a lot differnt. The Rear are all the way under the flairs, and the fronts stick out about a 1/2". It rides a lot better with balanced tires, no more vibrations ;D.
Tonight I pulled the front bumper off, straightened it the best I could and bent the mount back into place. I also heated the the drivers bumper cap and got most of the dent out of it. I sprayed the the passenger side bumper cap with some bumper black paint, and got about half the drivers side one done when I ran out of paint. I managed to spray the edges, so all I have to do is mask it off, but it can be done on the truck. It is now looking like a $2K XJ ;D.
While at Walmart I picked up a fire extinquisher, after seeing Roger's friends ZJ burn down I thought it was a good idea. I need to find a good place to mount it, but like Roger I am thinking about screwing it into my Sub Box. I am also looking into how to make the cubby in the right rear usefull. On the Liberty they used a bungy net and I am thinking of doing the same to my XJ.
I bought some Bars Leak rear main seal fix, just to get me through until I do my next oil change. If it works I'll let everyone know, becuase I know we have a few guys that need a rear main seal. I saw it on Trucks today, and since it is guarnateed not to clog, I decied to give it a shot.
