Default 37s: too much on a 2-dr?

I have a 2012 with 35s and really think that the look is just right. My take is that 37s on a 4-dr are an equivalent stance to 35s on a 2-dr. And...37s are a little over the top on a 2-dr. I'm not talking capability-wise, just aesthetically. Thoughts?

37s look perfect on my 2 door, 35s were too small.

I have 35s on my 2011 2 door and really want 37s . I think a big reason is because I have the Bushwacker flat fenders on mine.

i agree here...i have 35's with a 2.5 bb it looks perfect. im going up to 37's with a 3.5 aev premium lift...because that will look perfect as well...proportionally still great. 35's are too small

I think that you need the 4.5" AEV lift to fit 37s properly.

nope. i live close to aev's r&d department. i went and had a chat with kent. i saw multiple rigs they had done up with the 3.5 with 37's with stock flares with more bumpstopping. it looks awesome on the 2dr. plus you cant run the 4.5 on a 2dr

37's will be as far as I go with my 2 door. After that I'll just buy a JKU and work on getting 42's under that.

IMO depends on how much lift you have. 4" on a 2 door, 37's look wonderful.

37's are perfect. My 35's are looking too small for me.
