Default where to start?

Thanks for reading-

I have an 07 steel blue unlimited. I am new to the forum and new to the jeep world as well. As my tires near the end of their life i feel it is finally time to begin upgrading my jeep and give it that aggressive look i've always wanted it to have. I basically have $1600 to spend on wheels,tires, lift and other mods. (for now of course haha)

After seeing all of your great jeeps I don't know where to begin

Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks!

For 1600$ you can have wheels and tire combo (33'' for the most, but lucky if you find 35'') , but no lift, no shocks or other mods..

just wait to get more money...

For that money you can get new wheels and 33" tires. Get new wheels with some decent backspacing and your jeep will get the wider more agressive stance.

Yeah as of now I was going for looks and in the future working my way into doing some offroading. But the wider stance would be what im looking for. What do.I need to do to get that backspacing? How much? And what's the best place to look at wheel/tire packages?
