Question New Tires without a lift

I want to put some new tires on my 2011 JK, but don't have the money for a lift right now. Any brand and size suggestions? What is the biggest size tire I can put on the stock JK without a lift?

some 35s will fit if you don't plan on wheeling. although you might need to trim the fender flares too. 33s should fit without any additional mods.

You can get a nice pair of rubicon take offs for pretty cheap. i picked up wheels and tires with 9k miles for only $500

You may want to look at the teraflex levleing kit. I just installed mine this past weekend. It took only 3 hours and this was my first time doing anything like this. The only reason I mention this is that they only cost about $130 and it will allow a much larger tire size with out the fear of rubbing. I just installed Duratracs 285/75/R16's with this lift and I have no rubbing what so ever. I love the look. I did however change my rims as well giving me a greater back space but you can accomplish the same with spidertrax spacers. I would post some pics but I have not taken any yet. Good Luck!
