Guys, I have a 2010 Sahara with 18in stock wheels and looking to lift it, either 2.5 or 3 and either put 33's or 35's. Here are a few questions I have.
1. Can you see a huge difference?
2. MPG with 33's vs 35's
3. What type of mud tire are you guys getting good miles out of? I am looking at the Trail Grapplers.
4. YOU GUYS HAVE A PICS OF A SAHARA with 18's lifted and tires?
THANKS

Actually a 285/70/17 is considered a 33"... I would consider 315/70/17 a 34".

As promised, Here are my pics with 3.25" of lift and 295/70R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. They measure in at 33.75 inches mounted on the stock 18" Sahara rims although the Nitto Specs say 34.41". They tuck perfectly at full flex and there is plenty of room at the pinch seam. Guys with "true 35's" often have to either cut the lip of the pinch seam off or hammer it over to avoid cutting into the tread of their tires.

although I am a huge fan of larger tires, putting 35s on a 2door looks like overkill, not into the monster truck look, however the 4doors look puny with 33s... just my opinion. I like the wider stance look rather than the taller look

33 duratracs and no lift ... I juggled back and forth between 33's and 35's myself with the same questions as you. Ultimately, I went with 33's due to having the 3.8 and not wanting to fork over re-gearing money at this time. At the end of the day, i'm very happy with it and I think the 33's look fine on the four door. Not to say I wouldn't want some 35's at some point, but the 33's are looking and doing awesome!

i like the 33s over 35s
35s are over kill for a jeep that's used as dd and some off road use / more wear and tear on other parts and on gas as well and then your into modifying things constantly
