'Perfect' for any of us isn't necessarily 'perfect' for you.

You have the lift, so check out the wheels/tires and axles/gears/drivetrain areas.
That should help you narrow down your choices - and will likely give you many more questions to ask

No one tire is perfect. It depends on your $$$ situation and your driving situation. I have the 315/70/R17 (35") Hankook Dynapro M/T on stock rims. With a 6-speed it is ok, but you lose 6th gear on the highway on hills. If you have an automatic, you may want to stick with 33's or you will feel a loss in power from the bigger tires.
There are many good tire choices, BFGoodrich A/T and KM2, Toyos, Nittos, and the list is huge.

Check that link. Lots of really good info there...
Q: What is the biggest size tire I can fit on my stock Jeep JK Wrangler?
A: The largest tire size that the factory recommends is a 255/75R17 (which comes standard on Rubicon models) or a 32x10.50. However, there are many Jeep JK Wrangler owners who are currently running as big as 285/70R17 or 33x10.50's with little to no rubbing issues.
Q: What is the biggest size tire that I can I fit with a 2.5" Budget Boost?
A: 33" without any problems and 35" tires with only minor rubbing at a full flex. Depending on how wide your tires are, you may experience some rubbing at a full turn especially if you did not install an adjustable front track bar and/or are still running factory wheels which have 6.25" of back spacing.
Q: What is the biggest size tire that I can fit with a 3" lift?
A: 35" tires and depending on what lift kit you have, you may still experience some minor rubbing up front at a full flex and when turning.
No one can give you a guarantee that 'your' setup won't rub. But looking at the faq, you can certainly make an educated guess...
