I just bought a 2007 Rubicon Unlimited and spent the money for new tires. I put the OEM BFG Mud-Terrains back on but now I'm thinking I want to do a subtle lift like 2"-3.5". I'm wondering if the tires are going to look awkwardly small if I did that. Please give me some advice or post some pics of a lifted Rubicon with OEM tires. Thanks!

 

I don't have any pics, but have seen many with 2 to 2.5" lifts with stock BFG's....it looks fine....Putting spacers on to enhance the sstance really makes it look good.

 

X2. Nuthin wrong with it. It will look cool. And with the lift and smallish tires, you'll have plenty of room for flex. Post pics when you're done. We wanna see.

Here is ours when the Tera 2.5 BB was on it with stock Rubi tires.

 

Ran mine with the 2.5 BB and stock Rubi tires until I got the 35's. It looked fine, but it looks better now.

Just my $.02, but I think you do need bigger tires to fill out the look of a lifted 4-door. Us 2-door guys have an easier time getting "the look" because there's less overall size to distort the perception...

 

Here is my 2dr with a 3" Teraflex lift with stock tires and wheels.

 

Thanks for all the great advice and pics. I think I'll make the leap!
