Best visual tire size on LJ?

[Garry]

So would you guys go 31 / 32 / or 33's on this LJ?

Currently has a 2" OME lift with 30" tires. Willing to add a body lift to clear 33's if needed.

Honestly it's really just an esthetic thing for me, as even the 30" tires do what I need them to.

But the 30's just look too small with the lift on there.

I like the look of my 33x12.50s I think I could fit 35’s with no issue but as little as I drive it, these have a loooong way to go before I’ll be needing any replacements

what size lift is this? I just picked up a low mile LJ and i want to do something similar to this.

I can see where tire proportion can be important. I run 33’s, and I don’t think it looks bad but more so I am pleased how it handles the terrain native to my area.

I know this an old thread, but I have a very similar LJ. It's a 2006 Rubicon LJ with a 2&1/2 OME suspension. Otherwise it's all stock. I'm getting some new tire and rims, so I would like to know the length of your Jeep lift. Thanks,
Joe

35's minimum on an LJ. The extra wheelbase just doesn't look right to me until you get to that size. In your case, add the body lift and go to 33's

Forum guidebook says 35’s. 33’s aren’t even permitted on LJs. You might get a variance but I doubt it.

 

[firealley]

haha....I'm leaning towards 33's because I don't want to lift it more than the 2&1/2 inches. Want to keep a similar backspacing too.

IMO that should be ammended to 37s.

Almost a four year old post. Well done

I believe there’s a revision that addresses this @AndyG

Imo, TJs on 35s look better than LJs on 35s, but LJs look flat out amazing on 37s+.

Knowing the height would be more useful. 🤫

Ahhhh, OK, Ima not even gonna say it…

The Code panel doesn’t meet again for 2 more years. I held one last fall, then I forgot to show up and things sorta fell apart. This is all a lot more work than everyone thinks.

Go ahead and amend it Jauntons and fo'dezzzz!!!!

I think 33s can look good on an LJ with a certain look. Stock wheels or similar backspacing and Rubi width flares to keep the tires tucked in, hard top and minimal exterior mods. It's a really clean, understated look, especially in black.

 

[voodooridr]

or 33's on yellow?

I hate to tell you this, but other panel members may have worked in the shadows a bit when u didn’t show up. Panel-shuffling has also been discussed.

Feel free to Google “proposed forum regulations” in the dark web. But a warning…you won’t like what you see. Might be best to get in front of this at the next meeting.
