2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport bone stack. I want to go with a 2" level kit on. What size tires would fit with no rubbing but make fender fill up. Not going off road much at all. Im thinking 305/70/17. I bought this for my niece and she wants a bit higher with better, wider tires. Not anything to crazy. Thanks Jeep community.
 
yeah dude just go with a 2-3 inch level and 33s. thats the sweet spot imo. my hemi JK runs that setup and rides way better than you'd think. bigger than that and you're getting into regearing territory which gets expensive fast. what lift you got already?

I’d go with no more than a 33 inch tire.

The 305 width is pretty wide so will probably rub without spacers or new wheels.

Will do. Thanks.
@Haywood365 are you keeping the stock wheels? This will impact your tire width.

Yes. Or at least for now.

I just put LT275/70R18 tires on mine and for me, they are perfect.

Another thought…..do you know the axle gear ratio? If it’s 3.21 then personally I wouldn’t go larger than 33. If 3.73 then I wouldn’t go bigger than 35. I have 3.73 and I stayed with the above tires and I love them.
