Default Lift, rims and tires help

Looking to put the AEV 3.5 or 4.5 lift on my 09 unlimited sahara and just curious as to what peoples thoughts are on rims sizes and tires to go with the lift. You know, pros and cons with different sizez and brands of rims and tires. Looking to do a mix of on and off road driving but at this point would probably be more on road driving. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like an All Terrain tire would probably be more suited to your driving. I personally like the Toyos. As far as tire size goes it would really help to know if you plan to regear. With either one of those lifts you should be able to run 37's but unless you plan on regearing your Jeep is going to be a dog. If you don't plan on regearing I would go with 35's and the 3.5 inch lift. I like running 17 inch wheels but you can run all the way down to 15 inch wheels in certain cases.
