Same as been listed in the forum
7 inch wide rim
4 inches of backspacing
245-75-16 tire
or
265-70-16 same height
above tire and wheel combo will sit the tire at the edge of the flare
Maroon one has the above tire and wheel combo along with 3.75 inches of lift to give you an idea

32 inch tire/ 4 inches of lift/ 4.10 gears
JK wheels won't work, different bolt pattern
should hammer the pinch weld anyways, removing liner doesn't gain you that much in reality

JK wheels are a different bolt pattern. You'd need wheel spacers/adapters.
