OK, looking to replace the tires on my stock 2012 Sahara Unlimited. Here is what I want to achieve:
-Biggest diameter tires I can fit on my stock 18" rims.
-More aggressive looking.
-Good in the snow (northeast Ohio snow-belt!!)
-Wider stance so they stick out past the stock fenders a bit.
Should I just plan on a budget lift (and which one?). Will I need wheel spacers, and what thickness?
Thanks all!

You could try 275x65R18 GoodYear Duratracs. Great, aggressive tire. Been running them for a while. You won't need spacers, aboost or even a leveling kit. Also you do not need "e" rated. So they are reasonable. Good Luck!

I had 295/65/18 duratracs (33x12) on a stock jku using 18x9 wheels with a -12 offset. They would clear just fine on stock wheels with a set a spidertrax wheel spacers. 30,000 miles on mine and about 13/32s tread remaining.

Heard good compliments with their new A/T W3 and good as cheaper alternative.
Personally, I would go with Duratrac. I think they are good mud and winter tires with the aggressive looks you are wanting. Cousin in MI got 40k miles on there and still got plenty of tire life.
