Thanks for the advice. Maybe I should have been clearer in my original post. My rig is fully built to run tires up to 40's. I just have not decided how big I want to go. It is not my daily driver and I trailer it when we go on trips.
Build:
07 JK X with 4.10 gears/automatic
-diablosport predator tuning system
-artec front axle truss and gussets
-front and rear adams's driveshafts
-rock crawler 3.5 x factor lift with 1" front level kit
-rugged ridge flat fender flares
-American racing punisher 17x9 rims with 4.5" backspacing
I am currently running 33's which I had with my prior 2" lift. Now I'm stuck between going to 35's or 37's bc of the small price difference and looks. Basically, I want to be able to purchase this last set of tires and never touch this rig again (I'm going to start building a buggy for my fiancé).
My dilemma is: most of all my friends and forum members tell me to go to 35's instead of 37's as I have a 2 door and I do not like the stuffed tire look. I use the jeep for rock krawling only and it sees minimal hwy miles on the weekends or local shows.
Here is a pic of it currently with the build stated above and 33's. so now I need your help! 35's or 37's?!?!?!

Yes, with the lift and setup I've built, I can run up to 40's. I do not want to go that big, but I built this way so in the future, I can go that route if I decide with no issues or worries. It's a built Dana 30 front and 44 rear factory axles. I also have an Aussie locker in the front with ten chromoly axle shafts front and rear. With how frequently I use my rig (rock krawl about once a month), I decided to build the Dana 30 and not swap to a pro rock or g2. Basically, I was very fortunate to get the 07 X with the tow package, which is why I have 4.10 gearing and no one else does with newer models. I do not want to re gear what-so-ever, so this is why I'm torn between 35's and 37's. Even with my diablosport tuner, it would be best to re gear with 37's for throttle purposes. I'm just trying to get others opinions and what they have done with similiar builds on their 2 doors. If I decide on 37's, I will still run the 4.10 gearing.
