I poured over this and other forums before I finally ended up with a Teraflex 2.5" BB with adapters. I ran Terra Grapplers 275-70-18 with 5" backspacing on the wheels.
I get a slight rub backing out of my driveway at full lock (air dam i think). Bit of a steep driveway.
This tire/wheel combo is only slightly larger than stock. It doesn't stick out too much and fills out the fender well pretty good. In addition, there has been very little performance or mileage decrease. The wind noise has picked up slightly with the factory rake being gone, but not too bad.
Believe me, I wanted to go more! After I weighed all the options, this was right for me as my Jeep is a daily driver.
I have three days until my one month anniversary. This weekend, I plan on doing a LONG thread of before and after pics and all the mods I have done along with what I learned as a way to give back to those who have helped me get to where I am.
Good Luck!

Are 35s recommended if my jeep is my daily driver. I love the look and capabilities of having 35s but I'm contemplating 33s because my jeep will primarily be a daily driver and may see some moderate trails maybe once a month.

if you run 35's you will probably want to trim your pinch seams too in the rear

Thanks. I'm running the RK 2.5" Stock Mod with front LCA's, Bilstein 5100's, and added bump stops from TF, as they didn't come with the kit. My wife complained about not being able to get in comfortably with the existing step bar, so I'm pulling that and adding some Amp Research Power Steps. They are awesome, but so damn expensive. I don't have those on just yet, but will this weekend.
