Honestly how does one choose...?

I already checked the thread search, and many post but still no luck!!

Can some one please help persuade me into which direction to go... pictures may ( will def!!!) help in the persuasion/ decisions.

I have a stock Rubi w/ 2.5 TF BB and 1'' BL

these are the tires selected... now which size? 33's or 35's?

there are a lot of threads on this issue here, I should know I started one myself but in the end it all depends on a few things
1)How you will use the jeep
2)What look you are going for
3) Other components you have like how big a lift, 2 or 4 door, etc
4)And of course dollars able to be spent (think regearing, beefing up axles, etc.)

I know there are show and tell threads just for 33's and 35's that have a lot of pics (again, I've been looking myself) so keep researching there and maybe provide a little more info on the things I mentioned above and someone could give a more specific response to your particular situation

I don't see a point changing your rubi tires for 33s unless they're already old so 35s for me, but as they said there's a lot more to consider besides looks, it is amazing how easy you can fit 35s under a jk compared to any other jeep.

You really need to provide more information to get good advice.

What kind of wheeling do you do?
What gear ratio do you have?
Stick or Auto?
Plans or willingness for larger lift?

Bigger is always better, but there are a lot of variables that will help.

Stay with a moderate lift, but want to discconect the sway bar and do some rock crawling? 35s will rub like crazy.

Stay with moderate lift, and only do moderate wheeling and nothing very tough? 35s are great.

Got higher than 4.10 gears? Stay with the smaller tire.

See? lots to consider before good advice can be given.

i now have 50k miles on the jeep so the tires are very worn, im leaning more toward 35's but only cuz i love the look of a full wheel well, but 33's would be more cost effective. i just cant seem to make a decision

mudslingin44

go with 35's,from what i've read alot more people usually end up going with 35"s after they originally bought 33"s and wished that they went the 35 inch tires in the first place. good luck on you decision

jeepnick

go with the 35's i went with 33's and was happy untill i put bushwacker flares on and they dwarfed my 33's so as soon as these burn out i will be going with 35's

toyfreak

Go ahead and do 35's and gears and superchip,

or just do 33's.

Im in the...did 33's club and will do 35's....when i can regear.


Now What?

go with 35s....if you dont like em, there's plenty of guys with 33s that will swap + cash with you. Go with 35s and you'll soon want 37s, 38s, 40s

This probably describes me, too. However, I don't regret in the least going with 33s. With a 2.5" RC BB they do rub a little on tougher trails (Fins and Things, Poison Spider Mesa, etc). I think 35s would have been unacceptable. And with the 4.10 and a manual tranny, I would never want to run 35s. Unacceptable. So I'm content to put off 35s until I can get the right, additional mod's needed to make it a smart upgrade. And, the right 33s can look pretty darned nice ...
