35" on stock wheel
I kept the stock wheels on mine...you will need wheel spacers in the rear to run this setup w/o/rubbing the swaybar. Wheels are 16" but I don't think 1" bigger wheels will look much different.

Thanks, that what I was looking for. I like the looks of the stock wheels on my silver JK, and I can save some money. Maybe get some new wheels later. Also, those are some good looking pics.

Its the opposite....you blow beads when the rim is too wide for the tire...a narrower rim helps to keep the tire on (Within reasonable limits of course).
Plenty of people are running 12.5" section width tires on 7" rims, let alone 7.5", etc.
Oh, and the tire pressure question is like asking what their wife weighs...what one person is happy with has zero do do with what will work for you.
THE REAL KEY...is to look at YOUR TIRE'S max pressure and load capacity (Load range, etc...)...and see how many lb it supports at what pressure.
For a JK, you want to be able to support roughly 1,700 - 1,900 lb per corner...not because the JK weighs 7k lb...but because after calculating tire loading when braking and cornering, etc....that's about what it works out to....depending upon how YOU load it up, etc.
Now, if you get a set of tires that are rated to support 2,200 lb at 50 psi, and some one else gets tires rated to support 3,780 lb at 50 psi....and you ask him what psi he runs...do you think YOUR tires will work at HIS PSI?
Food for thought.
