I’m looking into tires and wheels and i just wanted some suggestions. I want a smooth ride but something that can still handle off-roading. i’ve heard that KO2s are good but do yall have suggestions for sizes or any wheels?

What are you planning on doing with your Jeep?
15s are great for crawling and 17s are probably more future proof and more compatible with brake upgrades.

Read this: there is a lot to know - then ask questions so you don't make very expensive mistakes. I'm looking for wheels & tires myself so I'll be following...

There are a few general parameters and then the rest is up to you.
15's for any tire up to 33" are ideal.
16's are very limited in tires.
15's or 17's for a 35", but tire market moving toward 17's.
3.75-4" backspace for 12.5" wide tire.
4-4.5" backspace for a 10.5" wide tire.
Aluminum don't bend (and rarely crack)
Steel bend.
Some claim Load C is the best, but when moving toward larger tire Load D or E gives more stability.
