Default Largest tires without regearing...?
I have decided to go with the 2.5BB, but I am trying to find out what the biggest tire I can go to without regearing. I have an 08 X with the stock rims and wrangler tires right now. I probably wasn't looking for anything past 32 inches anyhow.

With 3.73's you'd be good up to 33's and can even manage up to 35's (especially if you have a 6spd).

With 3.21's, I think 32's would feel underpowered, but you'd probably be able to get by with it.

I have 3.21 and have 32's. I didn't notice the slightest difference in power. And my friend who has 3.21 and 33's didn't notice a thing on his either.

If you have the '08 auto X then you should have 3.73's. That's what I have. I upgraded from the 225/75 donuts, to 33's works great!
