km2 question...
I would do 3" and 33's (33x12.50 or 305/70 16) if your not re-gearing. If your a manual you can run the 35's on stock rubi 4.10's well.
And 16's will ride better because of the thicker sidewall won't flex at highway pressure. Your only downside to 35's vs. 33's will be gas milage.

If I were in a 2 door rubi 6 speed. I would buy a Black Diamond 3" kit with Bilstien shocks and the optional adjustable rear track bar. I'd have 16X 8 wheels with 4.5 or 5" backspacing and 315/75 16(35x12.50) Pro Comp X-terrains.
You asked what would I do.

Wait what? Are you sure? I don't understand metric tire sizes, but the 285 is width and the 70 is how much tire is from rim to road... so if 70=5 inches (a guess for arguement's sake) then 5X2 is 10 (5up/5down) then 10+16=26, but 10+17=27 and 16?17 so the same size metric measurements the r17 tire is an inch taller than the r16, right?
