I'm running them on my rig with 33x10.5s if that helps any. It's all about personal preference.

Canyon rims and B.S.

I'm running Canyons w/31 x 10.5 x 15" ProComps on a 3" OME lift. I have about 3/8" - 1/2" clearance between side of tire and rear shackles. I sometimes rub on LCA's in front on a hard, full turn (turn out the stops) .

BTW: I'm changing to a 8.8" axle and will probably have to use wheel spacers in the rear ($100/pr) OR change to a different wheel BS. In my case, the spacers are cheaper.

BS? No just different rigs man.

I ran 4.5" of lift with 31" TrXus (A true 31" not what BFG calls a 31...) and I rubbed up front with stock rims and then with 4.5" of BS.....

Mike, the canyons look GREAT on the newer XJ's, you'll LOVE them man.

All the 15x7 rims measure 5.25", the TJ Canyon 15x8s measure 5.5" backspacing. Trust me, I lost this bet a long time ago... I run the Spidertrax spacers with mine, the wheels were too nice to give up.
