Dont know if your still looking at options for your jeep but i can let you know i am running JK rims on my 06. They did not fit over the calipers and i am running 1.5 inch spidertrax spacers. I have just installed 285 70s and they fit fine.
I am running the OME HD lift only. I have done the front pinch weld mod and will most likely do the rear pinch weld mod before i flex up the new tyres as my 255 75s were touching in the rear and getting chewed up.

My tyres do stick out the guards I recon about 20mm.

I dont think you need a superlift at all to run 285s mine have ample clearance and i was suprised they dont really look as big as i thought they would. 33 x12.5 on the other hand look massive!

Hope this helps!

Hmm thought I updated this, maybe not... well, I went with the 4 inch superlift and my tyres are 34's on 16 inch rims the front has sagged a bit due to old springs (have lift kit in for around 8000kms now) but brought some new ones to replace them. no rubbing at the rear and only a bit on the front, since it has sagged it has gotten worse however.. the lift kit is awesome the guys that installed it are jokes, stripped about every bolt on the kit and fucked the front swaybar link ends which i had to rebuild. But other than that the kit is amazing! and the jeep looks much tougher and honestly goes just about anywhere if you arn't scared of a little wheel lift

That's cool bro, your ride is looking very nice. Lifting the vehicle is one crucial part as you don't know which lift kit works great for you. In my case, I always recommended sturdy lift kits in matching ratio with the body weight of the vehicle.

Thanks fellas. The superlift comes with the AEV module to correct everything. So it works very well!
