Your choices are limited due to the 18" x 7.5" rim that comes with the Sahara...aggressive tires such as the BFG KM2 and M/T Baja MTZ don't make anything that will fit your rim in a larger than the OEM 255x75x15...the limiting factor is your 7.5" rim width...on my 17"x7.5" Rubi rims, it was no problem upgrading to the BFG KM2 285x70x17, but an equivlent upgrade is not available for the Sahara rim...maybe another company, or a street tire might accomodate your needs

Discoverer STT or Toyo open country M/T are the most aggressive looking ones you can fit . They both come in 275/70/18 which is about 33"

You Can Up To A 34"

But You Need To Make Sure That Your Rear Axel Is Centered And 1" Wheel Spacers

If You Go To A 34'' Tire

There are guys here runnin' 35's on stock 16's (7" wide) as well as the stock 17's (7.5"). I personally am runnin' 295/75R16's on the 7" wide rim. You'll get a little more tire roll but you won't have to worry about poppin' a bead.
