Truthfully it you want some off road look and good highway then go with aggressive 32" tires. With my 35" tires i get arounf 13-13.5 mpg so not great for street driving
The stock Rubi tires look real nice and can be picked up for much less than new tires. I run those with a 1.75" Daystar Freedom. It rides nice on the road and I haven't had any clearance problems off road either.

Default 2.5" Teraflex and Rubicon wheels/tires

I just installed a set of Rubicon wheels/tires and just for grins I swapped out the coils and shocks with Rubicon take-offs since I got them for next to nothing.

New pic is in my gallery if you're interested in taking a look. I think it will do until I regear and go bigger......
