Go big! Just went wheeling with an old Yj locked front and rear. I was open and went everywhere he did. It's fun proving the jks ability. I would never go smaller than 35 now that I have them

I was reluctant to go with 35's but did then within 6 months I went to 37" Falken WildPeak A/T's and I absolutely love them. I did re-gear to 5.13 and changed my stock driveshafts out for Tom Woods 1310's. My wheels are 17's.

It made a huge difference having 5.13's. If you actually plan on wheeling it you will eventually toast your front shaft, but the rear should be good for the long haul. These are just from my experiences, hope it helps.

(35's) on stock rims with spidertrax spacers. The only problem I have had is my steering box currently makes a "popping sound" every once in a while. I'm sure I'll have to replace it sometime down the road but who cares because I LOVE my 35's
