I think a 2 door can look good with agressive 33's!

It also depends on the tire itself because some run bigger/wider than others within a given size. A larger 33 like mtr/k's looks decent on a 2 door, about the same as a 35" km2 on the same ride.

On 4 doors a 33 doesn't quite fit, imo. For 4 doors larger tires like 35's, or even 37's look right.

i put 33's on my 2011 with a teraflex 2.5 and personally i don't like it. The 35's look so much better and seem to look more like a jk should. If i could have gotten rid of my 33's i would have gone with the 35's

Still waiting for my 33's to wear out so I can justify replacing them for 35's. Btw, this is the OME 2.5" lift which netted 3" with all the goodies up front

Default 265/75/16's with 2.5 TF coil lift

Waiting for these to wear out. I'm still on the fence about 35's or 33's next...
I think the flares you run with the tires is an important factor.

I think the 33s with 2.5" lift looks great and leaves room for full travel. The 35s look cool but a little stuffed under the stock fender flares.

I have the 33's already - I put spacers on so the rubbing would stop. Would you guys suggest the 2.5" terraflex spacer lift? If not, could you guys give me input in a not so expensive 2.5" lift? I won't be doing too much off roading, mostly just mudd. I did not get 35's because right now I cannot afford to re-gear, and I knew I'd hate the sluggish ride.
