If you have a BB with 33's or 35's, post some pictures so i can get a good look
Thanks guys.
Ehhh with that D30 and your gearing (especially if an auto) I'd say just go with 33s, they look good and should keep you out of trouble (breaking things offroad). Personally I think the 33s look small, especially on a 4-dr, but that's just me. Having a Rubi w/stock 32s I was never happy, bumped up to 35s and still am not happy and it's my everyday driver

depending on how hard you're flexing, have seen some JKs in a deep trough at an angle and it almost ripped of the pansy mounted stock fenders, most of the JKs I've seen hard flexed it just barely rubbed and made more noise than anything.

I stuck with 33's on 3:73 gearing and 6 speed....glad I did or those 35's would be dogging up the mountian passes around my area! Instead of a 2.5" lift I went with a 2" lift as I know I won't be re-gearing for several years...if ever!

The 2" lift looks good even a few people think I have 35's by just how well it fills the wheel wells. Also, I have had no issues with rubbing during flexing and no issues lock to lock in the front with a 12.5 wide tire.

some pictures.

Those are some awesome pics Triple, you're right those 33s indeed look like 35s on your rig, guess it depends on the combination of tires/rims, etc, etc.

I would go 35's. I have a RC 2.5 BB and rub at full flex, but it's not bad.
