Default 2-2.5 inch lift with 275/65 tyres?

Trying to find a pic of a JK with this combo to see if the wheels look top small for the lift. Any readers out running this combo that can post a pic of their rig??

17" wheels/ 31" tyres?

Yeah, looks too small. 33" are nice, though I alternate the 31" and the 35" on a 2.5" lift
Pics tomorrow perhaps.

I have 18 inch factory wheels which I don't want to part with. So would be 32". If I go to 285 thats 32.5" which is the biggest I can find without blowing the budget. Tyres for 18s are expensive!

I'd say go 285 and up as most tyres are smaller than advertised. I also run mine at 31 psi on road, so a couple of inches lower too. My 35" are calibrated to 33" tyres for the speedo btw.

I'm running 265s with a 2" lift and coupled with flat flares, the wheels do look a tad small.

I didn't want to go larger as I don't want to change the gearing due to towing a camper a lot but next time I think I'll bite the bullet and go 285.

I run 305/65/17 Which work out to 32.5ish. 2.5 lift and stock flares. Sometimes I think they look small, but they're no joke, mud is yet to stop me on these and I can get pretty much anything bogged. Any bigger I think I'd be trading too much power, on road performance and money just for looks
