Hi Guys, I'm wondering what are the biggest tyres that I can use on my 2005 TJ with 2" lift, without needing to modify anything?

Thanks
Sebastian

Strictly sticking to tire height, with a 2" suspension lift you can def. fit a 32" tall tire and a 33" with minor inner fender wheel trimming and/or lowering of bump stops. But, you said without modifying anything else. In that case, 32" is gonna be your height limit. Now, tire width is determinate on the width of your wheel plus your current wheel's backspacing. To fit a larger width you must have a narrow wheel with the more backspacing the better, to keep the tire up under the rig. Then of course you run into more complex issues of control arm and steering linkage clearance issues with a wide tire and heavy backspacing.
