Default will a 2inch lift work with 35's

I know im going to get a 2 inch lift, but i don't know whether to go with 33's or 35's. I went through the threads and pictures do get an idea of how much room there would be and to get opinions. People say 33's are perfect with a 2inch, but they look small in the pictures, then the person says they wished they got the bigger tire. Then there are people who say you can run 35's with a 2inch lift, but it looks tight. I have a 2007 X. Even if I went with the 35's, theres not much difference with the 33's. So which one should i go with?

I think it depends on which 2" lift you go with. For example I know many that are doing it with the OME but I also know of 2 that have had problems with the RE....It also depends on if you will go offroad or use it as a DD....

I Have 33"s And Have Plenty Of Room. I Am Getting 35"s On Tuesday And Orgered A M.o.r.e. 1" Body Lift For Good Measure, But There Still Should Be Room As Long As You Do Not Disconnect The Sway Bar.

35s will fit but you will get some rubbing on the fender flares if you go off road and need much flex. I would go with 35s. I went with 33 and was sorry.

I'm running with 33" and I'm not sorry...but i also use it to rock crawl and not just mud sling....the 33" tires tuck perfectly into the fenders...35" will work but like others have said it all about how you want to be able to use it...it's a shame that some people would rather choose fashion over function....just my 2 cents...good luck
