Default Lift vs Tires

I am getting close to 60k miles on my 2010 4 door wrangler. I want to lift my jeep 2.5 inches and I am looking for a low wide stance. What are the largest tires that I can put on this configuration? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

It depends on how much you want cut or spend. I know people that run 37s on 2 inches of lift

Yes, if you want a low wide stance then do the 2.5" lift with 35" tires and an aftermarket wheel with at least 4.5" back spacing and run spacers

Confused on how to go low with a 2.5" lift...I must be a tad slow here??? I would think if you want low and wide, use spacers and low profile tire??

I have a teraflex 2.5 coil and 315/75r16 and I don't think it's a low stance but it could be taller. Over all I like it and think its a good DD lift and tire combo.

He's not wanting a low rider! He wants the minimal lift in order to run the tire of his choice but also would like the wide look/stance.
