I just installed the OME 2" lift on my 4dr Ruby and want get some bigger tires. See thread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/old-man-emu-flex-38236/

I've been thinking of either keeping the stock rims and using 1.5" Spidertrax spacers or going with aftermarket rims with the right backspacing. I've been thinking of either 34 inch Goodyear MT/R (305/70/17) or 35 inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM2 (305x12.50x17). Any ideas and opinions on what you'd go with? Any pros and cons for either based on tire size or which tire is better? Those seem to be what is available for each of those tires based on the size I want. I've been seeing a lot of posts about rubbing with the 35s.

 

I would go with 34's with only a 2" budget boost. I have a 1 3/4" budget boost and a 1" body lift (total of 2 3/4" lift) and my 35's rubbed until I got longer bumpstops. You can also get flat fenders to create extra room. Mine is a 2 door Rubicon.

 

go 35 and put on a 1inch body lift, thats what I did and its perfect.

 

here's the goodyear 34" mtr's with a 2.5 boost and 1.5" spacers. slight rub at full turn in reverse
