Ok I've decided that I'm going to 37s pretty soon right now I'm running 35s on 15 inch steel wheels. I know there aren't many 37s made for 15s but the ones made are great tires like toyo, Maxxis and interco. I will occasionally drive my jeep a couple hundred miles, other than that it stays parked in the yard.
I'm aware that there are many more 37s made in 17". Is there any real benefit other than this that I gain running 17s. Also I'm aware that the 17s may feel a little more stable on the highway than 15s on 37s. Thanks for your input, Jason
 
I don't think I'll go bigger than 37s but I thought I'd be happy with 35s, it never ends.
 
17 is the new 15.
 
17. And do yourself a favor and spring for a wheel with 3.75 or 3.50 backspacing , all 17 non headlock wheels for a Jk are 4.5 that I ever found. They do not run well with 37,s as for rubbing and the 3.50 backspacing gives a much better stance.
Don't do it twice , get some beadlocks first go around.

I Have been thinking the same thing about bead locks. I seen those you have there really nice. Would they be fine to run on the highway?
 
Any quality headlock will be fine on the street, legal maybe not, no one pays any attention.

There are many option for a Jk, Raceline, ATX, Method , Trail gear and many more. Some of them are rediculiys expensive .
 
After spending a bunch of time and effort to find 37s to fit the 16" wheels I wanted to run, I would recommend going with 17s. There are still some good tire options in 15 and 16, but they are fading fast. It wasn't that long ago that all the good tires were 15s or 16.5s, and that 17,18,20 crap was for people with stupid big wheels. Now I've got a car and SUV with 18s and a truck with friggin 20s.
 
Another vote for 37s and 17s. I have 2 trucks with 37s and H2s.
