Default 33s on 8 inch lift

would 33s look really small with a 8 inch lift or would it be proportional?

Personally I think my 33s on my 4.5 inch lift look small.

That will look great in a mall parking lot. Don't forget the HUGE stinger to finish it off.

If i had a 8" lift i would have ATLEAST 37's. 33's would be way to small. I have a 3" and 33's and i already want 35's!

thats appropriate tires for that height
but 6.5 is probably the highest you'll ever need to go. it'll work fine for 35's
if you really want a monster jeep run some full width axles and 37's or bigger
