Default Going big, tire help plz

I have the stock 255/75/17 on my 2dr 2012 right now. im keeping the same rims
Im upgrading to the goodyear duratrac, i want to go as big as my car will allow. i also have 2" wheel spacers on as well. dont know if that affects clearance but lettin ya know
my options are
315/70
265/70
285/70
245/75
I heard on another forum i can fit 285 on my stock jk with no lift, w the wheel spacers please confirm? as this would make my day lol
i believe i can do the 265 with no problem, plz correct me if im wrong. naturally i want to go as big as possible so would you guys know if the 285 is too much?
annnddd is the 265 a significant size increase? or is to small an upgrade & should i wait invest in a lift and then get the 285.

also recently took off my air dam during a light bar install so i heard that helps w clearance.. thanks!!

285's should fit fine with those spacers. Should you go off road disconnected, you may rub the fenders just a bit but nothing to be real concerned about.
