They are bfg at's and measure a little under 34 inches. I was on the fence to get 33's (285/70/17) but think I would have regretted going any smaller than the 315's. Having the correct offset on your rims will help with avoiding some of the rubbing.

Since I installed my lift, I have driven from Arizona to Illinois and back... when I got back in hauled just under a ton of bricks we bought from Lowe's to build a firepit. The JK was loaded all the way down to the bump stops! Drove home about 4 miles at ~30 mph. That is with the Spidertrax spacers and the AEV 2.0" lift. I have had zero issues and all is looking good!
After seeing ccchris's images and doing a search I have decided to go ahead and buy some 35x12.50x17 tires. After researching I decided on some Fierce Attitudes which are produced by Goodyear/Dunlop. Guys here on the forum are saying they meaure about 33.75-34.25" on stock moab wheels. A couple of guys have these exact tires on the 1.5" Teraflex Performance Leveling kit which sits very similar to my AEV 2.0" kit and I definitely like the looks especially after trimming the fenders.
I'm not trying to irritate any BB lovers out there, but my issue is that I go trail riding, off-roading, wheeling, rock crawling, what ever you want to call it at least once if not two times a month in Arizona... I have a feeling that as I increase my tire size to quench my thirst for more difficult terrain I will also need a little more height to make room for my larger tires and greater articulation, so I may be going to a slightly larger 2.5-3.5" lift.
Don't get me wrong, I love this lift... it got me started, and is a great introductory lift... shoot it's seen some trail miles for sure. And I am sure it would be great for some guys in the mid-west that only want to run 285's or do not need the larger 34+ diameter tires and articulation that we need down the southwest desert...
