Default Question on tire width

Hey guys. I'm starting up the Keep transformation and I'm gonna be doing a 3" lift and 35 inch tires. I'm looking to ave my tire have that wide look though. I was wondering how you know how a wheel is going to make your tire look when inflated....

A wider wheel will make a given tire size look wider. The standard for a JK seems to be a 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. If you want an even wider look you may want to consider going to a 10 inch wide wheel or a wider 35 inch tire like a 325/65-18 (35x13.00) or a combination of both.
