Which one is better 15" or 17" rims both with the 305 / 315 tyres. I'm planning to lift and upgrade rims and tyres. Will appreciates your experience advise. Thanks

2.5" lift with 15" x 33 tires

if you change to bigger tires without the lift, you'll end up scraping your tires in the fenders when turning


however, i would highly recommend that it would still be best to learn to drive the car in stock form and upgrade as per your need as you improve your driving skills

The 15" rims will fit only the Unlimited Sport . if your car is Sahara Edition you have to stick to the 17" rims , as the smaller rims will not fit due to the electronic descent system .

Hmmm... another Newbie, who wants to impress his neighbours... We have some Wrangler owners in our Club, who managed to be upgraded to Intermediate level, without mods. What about this? :060:
