Does this look weird?

Pretty much the topic.

Finished installing the metalcloak 2.5inch game changer and the overline fenders. I have 35s now, but with everything on I am not sure if I should go to 37s to fill everything out, or if its just an optical illusion because the inner fenders are bare aluminum.

Feel free to leave your honest opinions. I wasn't intending to go to 37s because I don't have the budget right now to regear and get a spare tire carrier, but if there is a large consensus that the 35s look out of place then getting 37s will be added to the future plans.

Still to do:
Exoskin
rock rails
stubby bumper

I think it looks fine, I had a 2 1/2 inch lift, flat fenders, and 35s for a while. I have 37’s now but I’m dealing with some rubbing offroad even with 3 1/2 inch backspacing. And while some people have been OK with it, a Dana 30 front axle and 37s isn’t a great combination, that’s a lot of tire for that axle.

I could be wrong, but don't JLs fit 35s without a lift? If so, a 2.5" lift and those overline fenders would make the tires look a little small/disproportionate compared to all that empty space around them.

37" MT tires and some beadlocks would help with appearance

That’s a lot of space between the tire and the fender. 37s would look better.

Make sure to upgrade at least your axle shafts while you’re at it

If it helps this is a diesel with 44s - current gears are 373

It’s all personal opinion, but I would go with 37’s as well.

Nick, you seen my JK. It's in  2.5" RK lift and has the metelcoak highline fenders, and I'm on 37s as well. The only place that I had a rubbing issue is with the front of the rear tire well. The tire was hitting the pinch weld seam. We ust trimmed it and it clears fine.

This is a rhetorical question...

37's

you knew that.

If you don't want to go 37's now, pull the lift off and level it, otherwise 37's would look much better.

In that case 37s for sure.

If this is the diesel and you have 44s then you are good to go to 37s and not worry about regearing. If you drive it after you have them mounted and dont feel like you have enough power then regear, but I doubt you will have to with that motor. Bigger tires are always the answer.

Looks like someone missed leg day at the gym.
