You are limited to the stock 235/75R15, or something close to it. I have a 00 Xj too and found out, in order to run 30" tires you need to install a 2" lift, then get the front-end aligned. You can install this kit in your driveway with basic tools, a spring compressor will help. To run 31's you will need to go to a 3" lift. would recommend this.

I have 225 70 16 on there right now. I want to get a set of new rims for it. I am trying to find a wheel package. trying to figure out options on it. thanks

Options are limited, after 96' they changed the fender area, so unless you want to lift you Xj a couple inches, your about stuck with the smaller tires. Stock rims are 15x7's, i would advise you to look for a set of 15x8's. This way if you plan to lift your XJ you can keep the rims and just change tire size. the largest tire you could SAFELY put on a 15x7 is a 31x10.5R15. They look kind of weird but doable. All this talk about tires, it really depends on what you plan on using this XJ for. Week-end mudder/ dailty driver? Mine is exactly that, when the wife lets me get it muddy, I have 30's(BFG A/T KO's) A great tire, and you would be surprised, just a 2" lift and the trouble, I mean fun you can get into. If you are considering a lift, would strongly suggest the 3" at least, still a lift you can do in your drive way, and it looks nice sitting up a bit.
Good luck.
