I have no idea how some of the veterans on here have lasted as long as they have. There should be a point system or something that pays off for them to show our gratitude. We all know who the consistent guys are on here are with 2500 plus posts answering the tough questions.
It all boils down to lack of respect and consideration. I was once new not long ago, but I knew better than to ask question I could find the answer to. Use the search engine so that we can continue to grow the community instead of polluting it with the same questions over and over again.
To all the unrelenting patient guys/gals out there who make this forum great, I raise my almost empty glass of scotch in gratitude...
And to all u new Jeople, use the search... If u can't find the answer, then post... Simple
**end rant**

What??? Someone asked the daily question?? Who's turn is it to answer. I swear I need to create a word file for this and just copy and paste....
Too bad I'm on the phone on the site during working hours... Like right now

(And I'm sure I have been ignored more than a few times for the same reason.)

We might as well help the OP out since everyone's given him/her hell so far lol.
To OP: Are you planning on using the stock wheels/rims? What percentage of driving will be on the street?
Ultimately, with the stock wheels and no lift, the general consensus is that 33" tires are the most you can fit comfortably. If you're using the stock wheels, you'll need to add 1.5" spaces behind each wheel (whether or not you should do this is a WHOLE different conversation). The alternative to running stock wheels with spacers, is to buy aftermarket wheels with 4.5" of backspacing. The backspacing (or the spacer added to the stock wheel) allows the wheel and tire to mount a bit further away from body of the jeep, providing extra space so that your tires wont rub anything.
With this set up, you may experience rubbing at full flex, however you shouldn't have any issues during daily street driving.
Welcome to the forum - there really is a wealth of knowledge, and a whole lot of helpful people here. To nicely add to what others have said, using the search tool will help you a lot - you can find the answer to a lot of questions very quickly, often quicker than asking. It also has the added bonus of helping to reduce the number of times you'll read: "lulz search tool brah"
