Default 2'bb but what tires

i'd like to see some pics of 2drs with 2" or2.5" bb with 32" or 33" tires. just wondering what mine will look like with a little lift if i can't afford bigger tires yet. cant justify buying new ones when mine only have 500 miles on em!

Check out this link:https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/lets-see-those-33-s-2-drs-23451/

Lots of 33's here, lifts vary in height, but look through here, there are great pics.

And try using the search function. There are thousands of posts/threads/write ups/ more info than you can imagine....

Go with 33x12.50 tires...you won't regret it...33's look good on a 2" lift.

thanks! there isn't that much difference in the tire size, but the way the tire looks maks all the difference in the world... would u call that a "more aggressive looking tire"? still trying to learn proper jeep language

Yes...my 33's are much more aggressive and are a Mud-tire (Cooper STT) but also my mud tire is 2" wider than the stock which helps with the stance and look. Personally, the stock duellers look like a street tire but are called an All-terrain tire.

They are not the best choice, you probably need to be in O/D off mode most of the time, and if you have stick, 5th and 6th are going to be useless with the 3.23's. If I were you go with the 33's. 35's are to large for just a 2 inch lift kit and will have rubbing and spacing issues. That and 33's in my opinion at least look great and perform great on a 2 inch lift. I have a 3inch lift that could fit 35's, but I prefer the 33's.
