Re: 2" Lift ?'s
The 11.50s will stick out 1/2" more than the 10.50s. With a 2" lift, I'd
go with the 32s.

Re: 2" Lift ?'s
Why do you think you need to change your rims?
I like my 1986 stock Laredo chrome 7" rims and they fit up to an 11.5"
'wide' tire without an issue. Some folks even use them for 12.5's.
On a TJ, you have back space issues with rims so you have to get the
right ones. If wrong, the tires just plain won't fit on, they will hit.
Rubbing when turning is an easy fix. You just add washer(s) to the
steering stop bolt.

Re: 2" Lift ?'s
Why do you think you need to change your rims?
I like my 1986 stock Laredo chrome 7" rims and they fit up to an 11.5"
'wide' tire without an issue. Some folks even use them for 12.5's.
On a TJ, you have back space issues with rims so you have to get the
right ones. If wrong, the tires just plain won't fit on, they will hit.
Rubbing when turning is an easy fix. You just add washer(s) to the
steering stop bolt.
