Your Jeep looks fine for right now. I have 31" tires and am going to intall a 3.5" lift nexk week. It migh look funny for a while, but eventually I will get larger tires. I am thinking 33".

I recommend 35" with a 3.5" lift. You will like the look so much more. But its all in what you like so... My tires measure 32.1 and I would love to go with more!

I ran 33"s for a couple of years and now with 35's I wish I hadn't waited so long. The 33's looked small. Sell the new tires and take the hit and buy the tires you'll like.

I like the look of the new tires.

I ended up going with 35" tires since I put in 4.88 gears.

I kinda wish I would have put on 4.56 with 33 inch tires.

I did go up to the high country and I am quite pleased with the results. On the highway, I am not so pleased.

Fortunately this is not a DD.

IMO I think they will look good, specially if you are just going with a leveling kit. Should add a nice stance and bring the tire out a bit.
