Default Tire/rim Size help

If the battery in my camera did not just die... there would be a picture included in this thread... I have a 3 inch Rusty Lift, a 2 inch body lift and 35" tires on the stock rubicon rims... The tires look lost in the wheel wells.... What I would like to do would be just get a set of 4 steel rims and a set of tires that would help in filling up that space. Since I have never really played with rims and tires over the standard sizes I am totally confused trying to determine the best rim/tire size combo

There are many threads on this and you can find them with the 'search' help, but it depends on the look you want. Some prefer the larger rims with tires and some, like myself, like the 'vintage' look of smaller rims with larger tires (these will also alow for more sidewall flex when you air-down) one of the sponsors on here is from Discount Tire and is very sharp when it comes to tire size. Good luck with your build, but with your lift, etc I beleive 37's are an easy fit and will look good on any rim size - just be aware that the diff size & gearing will also govern the max tire size.
