285/75-17 or 285/70-17

I had a 2009 JK with level kit and 285/70-17 with no problems, don't know if I should go same size with 2016 Willys JK with TF 2inch or buck up to the 285/75-17?

I would try 1.5" wheel spacers and the bigger tires, probably be fine.

Go with the 285/75/17's with 1.5" spacers.
I've been running that on my 13 for 33500 miles.

I found the 75s to be more expensive than the 70s in the Duratrac and KO2s I was looking at, whatever that's worth.
