35's on a 2 door look excellent. Perfect IMO.

BB I love big tires too, so my tires size will be based on a few things:

Look (after I lift it),
How much my D44's and 3.21 gears can handle
And of-course PRICE (I'm not cheap but its gotta play a roll)

By the way: Are you keeping the rubi rims or upgrading them as well?

321 gears and big tires are not a good combo , you will be hating life your jk will suffer terribly with anything more than 33s, it will be a real drag to drive, expecially on the parkways

Brendan, if you wanna test out 35's before you
pull the trigger, we can swap wheels for an hour or so one day so you can see what they are like on the highway. With o/d off they might not be too bad but then again, they might not be driveable. I'm thinking the 2 door is a lot lighter than my 4 dr

also, not sure when your looking to make your purchase, but the KM2's were not available til the end of September the earliest. That was per tires.com. I thin Tire rack says they have them but there more $

That is why I pretty much figured on 33's when the time comes.
