Default Max Tire Size for stock height Rubi?

I am sure that there is probably a thread on this already, but could not find it...what is the max tire size I can put on my Jeep without putting a lift on?

40's. See lower forty jk. It's a JK with no lift sitting on 40's, hence the name, lower forty!

33s will work without modification. 35s will work with either new wheels or spacers, a fender chop and some trimming. 40s will work with extensive body work and a spare $20k rolling around in your wallet.

Are you willing to trim? Go to flat fenders? Add more bumpstop?

Check the Wheels & Tires section in the FAQ:

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modified-jk-tech-2/modified-tech-faq-answers-questions-every-newbie-has-18617/

General consensus is a 33x10.50. If you go wider, look at the sections on backspace and wheel spacers.
