need opinions:

i am getting a 2in re lift installed this week, and am contemplating between 33 x12.50 and 35x12.50 tires. what would you go with?

here are my current specs: 2009 wrangler x 4 door auto. rugged ridge front modular bumper with matching rear bumper and smittybilt xrc 10k lb winch. everything else is stock. its a daily driver with the ocassional weekend "adventure"

 

I would suggest 33s. 35s would be cutting it close with only 2" of lift and having those bumpers weighing down your suspension.

Also - 35s are murder on automatic trannies and would need a gear swap which is expensive for some. Also 33s would be more practical. I am going 2" with 33x12.50 myself as well.

 

Go 33's....I personally think the 2" is perfect for 33x12.50's....Also, 33's don't dog as much if you have 3:21's or 3:73 gearing.

I ran 35's on mine a couple months, then added a 1in body lift.

 

Go with 33's unless you don't plan on disconnecting.

I have a 2" BB with extended bumpstops and still rub with 33's on the flares at full stuff when disconnected.

 

My vote is for 33's. I ran the RE 2" BB for a while with 33x12.5's without any issues, it was CLOSE on full stuff though.

That was then--->

 

33's here no issues.. I think i'm upgrading to 37's though.. only running a 2" BB.. If you do the fender mod than you can def run 35's.. Give it some thought bc alot of people wish they went with 35's after there 33's wear down..

here's mine

 

I like my 33's.........BUTTTTTTTT!!!!!! I wish I would have gone bigger. I don't have headaches worrying about gears or anything else with my 3.21's and Superchip though.

 

will 33x12.50 fit on the 17in X stock rims or will i need defferent rims?
