Cool Tire Size Question?

Hello, I'm new to this forum and to the Jeep world! I just bought my very first Jk wrangler X with the C package. I was wondering what is the largest size tire I can put on my X without any rubbing and without doing any lifts yet. Also, i'm not looking to go off road yet, mostly main road driving. In the future I would ultimately want 33's or 35's. I love that beefy powerful look. However I have 3.21 ratio, is that possible without switching gears? Thanks to all that help.

You can fit 285/75/16 which is a 33" with no lift. If you are not planning on hard off roading, there are many people running 33" here stock. The 33 is the largest I would go with the 3.21s, 35s would sap the power and acceleration.

Stick with a 32 if you don't lift it and want no rubbing. That's what comes stock on a Rubicon. The 265/75/16 works perfect!
