Default Anyone ever had regrets after getting 37's and go back to 35's?

I'm in the market for some new tires and wheels and I just want to get some input on how everyone has felt about their setup.

Did you want 33's and go with 35's now your happy? or now 35's are not enough so your going to get 37's.

Or Did you just go with 37's and now you had wished you had gone with 35's because of some issue like gas milage, drivetrain etc....

Just curious to see where everyone is on their build.

I went from 33 to 37 and i am happy. If i wanted to go bigger that would involve more then just tires. The same issue is going from 33 to 37. More to it with rubbing issues , ride height , axle strength and so on. I think 37 on a 2 dr are about perfect.

You think if I get 37's I'll have to re gear?

What gears do you have? Auto or manual?

Unless it's a '12 or '13 with 4.10's, then yes you will probably want to.

I love my 37's,, and agree with the prior post,, "37's look perfect on a 2 dr" But I have enough lift, and my 5.13's geared me pretty low,, so when i get the chance i will be stepping up to 38's, MAYBE 39's,,, but 40 is where I draw my line. I think 40's are too big for a 2 dr.

I have 35's and I am happy with them. When I first got them I thought they were big, but now I think they are the minimum size if you are going to put new tires on your jeep.

I would love to have 37's but I don't really regret not getting 37's b/c the price jump from 35 to 37 is pretty big not just in terms of tire prices but in larger lift, fenders, beefed up axle etc. But I know if I would have gone with 33's I would think they were too close to stock and I would have regretted it. If money were no object, I would get 37's and call it day.

So it looks like there is a lot of people with 35 that want to upgrade and the people that have 37's are for the most part happy with their choice. Keep voting everyone we can get a better picture if we get more votes.

Thanks for everyone that posted feedback on their setup so far I'm seeing a lot of nice Jeeps out there on 35's and 37's
