Mud terrains?  Or street tires? 

I have run 31" street tire fine.  Mud terrains you might need to bumpstop and tirm a little.  If you are ok with trimming some you will be fine.

"stock" rims are what one's? The stock one's came in several different offsets (backspacing).

You should be fine for the most part running that size tire. You may rub on the lower control arms at full lock, but nothing a few washers behind your steering stops can't fix. My wife (dogwonk on here) ran 31's on stock rims for about 6 months as we were waiting on her 33's to show up.

Please answer the question about which particular rims you will be using because, as was stated, the offsets are different.

Just out of curiosity... Why are you opting for stock rims?

Those are factory Jeep XJ Cherokee rims. They are 15x7 and should have a backspacing of 5.25" if my memory serves me correct.
