Are they only 33's? They look bigger?

I'm buying new tires in the next 2 days and going between 33's and 35's for my Rubi and I would swear your tires are larger. Also deciding b/t a 2.5 and 3.5" lift so I'd be interested in hearing what you have.

2 1/2 inch suspension lift but I think I got at least 3 inches out of it . And 295/75r16 33.6 they are a true 33. If u go 35 I'd want the 3 1/2 inch lift but that's just me . :-)

33's are okay on a JK, but not a JKU with a 2.5" lift. Just my opinion of course.
