It's gonna look disproportionate but you will have all kinds of room to flex.

I think it will look silly, but to each his own. I have a 4.5 inch lift with 31's, and I like it, but it's just on the edge for me. I would definitely not go smaller.

Well if you still have your flares on it won't be bad but if there off and fenders are cut.... Might look a lil goofy IMO.

I don't have the jeep anymore, I ran those small tires for a week because someone had bought my 35s. I went to 33s after I sold the 35s

I installed a 6.5 lift with 31's awhile back and I got laughed at a lot but I did not have a $1000 bucks to throw at tires at the time.
But it was pretty funny looking!

stick 'em on and see what YOU think. doesn't matter much what any of us think, since none of us have to drive it.

Do what u have to do. If ur buyin the lift now don't worry about tires. A lot of us buy the lift we want and then run whatever tire is on it. Then save up for tires. My situation is I have a 4.25 frt and 4.5 rear getting ready to be installed. But when I bought my jeep it needed tires badly. So I got my 235's.

Now I'm gonna be running those for a good 4months or so before I can get 31's. I could only install 3" of my lift; but I'm not goin to do this 2x.
