Default Best overall wheel/tires to go with?

2.5"-3.25" lift...

for road use and some off roading... what are the best tires and wheel size to go with? Im thinking 35's but not sure how 33's would look...

Trying not to spend an arm and a leg but the cheap 35's i find are for some 15" wheels and cant find those anywhere!

35s for that lift will be fine. You should have no problem finding 15"'wheels. Look at Duratracs. You can get 16s and 35s.

Go 35's, you will regret the 33's. I went 35's and wanted 37's the next day...lol

Wheels, plenty out there to choose from.

Check out both the threads "show your 35's and show your 33's". Depending on what gears you have you may have to think about regearing with 35's.

what gears come on a stock 2012 rubi? 4.10?

also, will 35's on a 2.5" lift give you plenty of flex room? Thats my main worry, is that I'll have too much tire and wont be able to flex as much as a 33 would

Checkin em out right now... I remember seeing those threads in the past but had forgot..

Must be the pics because I cant tell a huge dif. between a 2" lift with 33's and 35's in the pics... 33's look good and are a lot cheaper...

choices :(

I run 35s on my 2dr with a teraflex leveling kit and a factory fender chop. Plenty of room for flexing. And the cut fenders look so much better than the stock ones. Get the 35s. You'll never regret it

I just put 16" Mb Chaos wheel and 315/75r16 duratracs on my rig. It looks sweet!
