I have a leveling kit on my 2017 JK, what size tires can I run?

I am gonna say your lack of answers will be because this has been talked about a ton, and quick search would show multiple responses. In a quick summery- 33" would probably work, 35 with either aftermarket rims and decent backspace, or wheel spacers and you will probably have to limit up-travel with bump stops. All these trucks are slightly different, so the quick answer is, there is no answer as to what will work for you. Take some measurements, and check some other threads, I would say 33-35 is possible with a little work. but you have to check your results. Don't just throw 35" tires on and fly down a trail.

Don't forget about your gear ratio. If you have the typical 3.21, then you will not like 33 and you will hate 35 due to lack of power. Also don't forget you need to reprogram when you put larger tires on.
