Narrow or wide Tires that is the question
Narrow tires: Better MPG, better traction in snow, fewer side-clearance problems.
Wide tires: Better flotation in sand or mud.
A jeep that is set up to run where the owner wants to drive it always looks right to me. If I want fashionable I'll go to the mall.

I've got a Teraflex leveling kit, the spacer version not the spring version. I've also got Rubi springs and shocks on it. The front springs are 19's and the back springs are 59's. From the ground to the bottom lip of the fender inline with the center of the wheel measures 38" front and rear.

Go narrower. As a previous poster said wider is only maybe better if you're trying to drive on top of soft sand or snow; in all other conditions narrower will be better, or just as good as wider. Wide tires are mostly for looks if you like that look. Wider tires are almost always heavier and will throw more crap onto the sides of your Jeep and will hurt your mileage and acceleration and braking on the street, which is where all Jeeps spend 99% of their time.
