Default Build Input for JKU Rubicon

Hi,

I'm a noob. I've owned a Jeep Wrangler since '91, and loved it. But I'm afraid I feel pretty overwhelmed by the expertise I see here.

I've just recently purchased a JKU Rubicon. It will be my daily driver, and I'll do some moderate offroading. And I do plan to do some aftermarket upgrades/mods. I'd also be lying if I didn't say that some of it is for aesthetic reasons.

One of the upgrades I intend to make is some combination of lift/tires/wheels. I'm reading a ton in these forums on purpose-driven decision-making, which is helping. But I do have a few questions around aesthetics. For instance, I do like the profile of the rig below. The site where I found it doesn't have the specs published. Would anyone be able to eyeball this and tell me what it is? Tire type, size, offset? Does it appear moderately lifted?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

They are 285 70 18. I can read the size. I'd say very little lift. Definitely 2 or less.

Thanks! Can you tell the brand and model? I can't seem to read it.
