Default Wheels and tires

Good size tires that look good without a lift just. Rims tires and finder flares ?

Yes, I can't really put a lift on. I want to so bad but I'm not sure the transmission could handle it.

Your transmission couldn't handle a lift?

Buy some 30" tires and stick them on, bumpstop, and adjust your steering stops so you don't rub.

lifting your jeep will have almost no effect on your transmission. tire size will though. but here's in idea. do a 2in spacer/shackle lift and run some 31's

I had 235/75-15's on mine before I lifted it. On 15x8 Pro Comp wheels with 3.75" backspacing. I could have fit bigger tires than that under it, if I had extended the bumpstops, probably 31's. I'm running 33's now on the same wheels with a 1.5" lift.

Fine as long as your driveshafts don't vibrate

You can go up to 33" tire wise without too much trouble. Have to fender trim. But anything much above 30" and you have to trim.
