i am 90% sure im getting a 4.5" lift unless i change my mind, it is for my everyday driver and will be mostly on pavement not much off roading at all... but i like the "wide" tire look what do you suggest?

That is funny U spell sofisticated but then mess up and miss the e and g in mileage.
I like the look of the wider tires. It may lose fuel but it looks so much nicer. A 33 10.50 or 12.50 would look nice.

i would love to fit 33's but i dont want to do any shaving or removing... i was hoping for 32x11.50 i dont think it'll fit bigger than that without shaving

my buddy has 33 on a 4.5 and yes he cut his fenders but mostly for the flexing room. U may have a little rubbing with the 33 but to be safe a 32 or 31 BFG All Ter. would be nice. Plus they last a long time.

I think you should go with some ProComp Mud Terrain 32x11.50r15, they look nice and have a good tread pattern.. or some BFG's but if you want to go cheap and nice go with a set of General Grabber AT2's or Sport King All Terrains. They both have very good tread ware and both last a long time. The Sport King AT's are made by BFG so you know there good thats what Ill have on my Jeep soon enough.

If you have new leaf springs and a 1" spacer up front you can run 30x9.5/r15
They will look great, and perform very well. The quality of the tire is more important than the size.
