Replaced stock tires and wheels with 16x8 Soft 8's w/ 5" BS and 305/70 R16 Nitto Mud Grapplers. No Lift yet but no rubbing at full turn (on level ground). The tires aren't quiet but are not nearly as loud as I figured they would be. Spare is on order (only had the Jeep for 8 days).

Great thread everyone... some VERY nice rigs here!
Here's my humble opinion. I really like the look of the 2 Door's with 33's. The 4 Doors sometimes, can look a bit off with 33's... not always though. Again, just my opinion. It's about the wheel base I guess.
I have a 2 Door, running stock 16 inch steelie wheels now, and some 285x75x16 Uniroyal Liberator AT's that my brother gave me. I wanted to see how the JK handled ... drove... etc... with the 33' tire size. With no lift, they fit fine, and I think they look fine... but, I am not running spacers. So, at full steering lock, even these mild AT's rub on the inside. I have not disconnected my sway bars, and do not intend to, until I get my rig sorted.
Here are my thoughts... now, bare in mind... practicality is my mindset here... as my JK is my daily driver.
I am not a fan of the bigger wheels... i.e. 17-20 inch wheels. I am a huge fan of 15 inch wheels, and the rubber is seemingly a bit cheaper. I am looking to run some 33x12.50x15 Duratracks on some 15 inch Cragar Soft 8 wheels. Instead of a lift, I am saving my pennies for some Poison Spyder Custom Flat Fenders front and rear.
My first thing I get will be some rock sliders / rails.
Next will be the fender flares
Followed with the tires and wheels.
This should give me ample clearance for 33's... or so I think.
So, with that tire, would you run a 15x8 or a 15x10?
Thanks all!
BTW, here's how it sits now...
