+1 ^^ It's all going to be relative to how you want it to look, but you don't "need" larger tires in order to lift it. 2 to 2.5" is probably the cut off where anything above that would start looking a bit odd.

What size lift are you wanting to run? Your tires are basically 33" tires, so with a smaller lift in the 2-2.5" range it should look ok. But to answer your question, No, you don't need new tires. Depending on the lift manufacturer, you may need wheel spacers with stock wheels though.

You'll do just fine with a true 2.5" lift, especially a nicer kit that gives you a level height adjustment. With smaller tires a level Jeep is key, the factory rake tends to make it look more "lifted" and makes the tires appear smaller.
