Default What is the best size tire to run on Stock 18's

I am looking to keep my stock Sahara 18's that I am powder coating black,and want to know what is the best tire set-up I can run with no lift. I see some people have 305/60/18, and some have 285/60/18 and some go to 33x12.5x18 with 1.5 spacers but what is the most ideal set-up to run that won't give me rubbing problems. If anyone has picks of there set-up with stock 18's and no lift please post them up.

I just want to keep the stock look, I don't do any wheeling or anything I just want a more agressive looking tire that will make the JK look better.

Drop some 35's on there with spacers and rip off the front air dam. They fit, and if you don't go offroad they don't rub.



Okay, maybe not sound advice but it does look nice.
