I don't know what lift you're planning, but here's my jeep with 33" MT ATZs on 16x8 ProComp 1069 wheels(looks just like the Classic II) and RE 2" BB. Being my daily driver, this is the perfect set-up for me.



By the way, you may want to make sure the MT Classic IIs will fit. Those are the wheels I got first, but the back of the wheel hit a metal clip that stuck out around the hub. The ProComps did't have as big of a surface on the back and they fit fine.

Do you have a suspension mod? (BB, lift-kit, or rollin' stock)

I have 33's on 16" rims with a 2" BB and it works well for me as both a daily driver and trail rig.

thanks for the info guys, i'm planning on getting either a 2" or 2.5" lift once my gear gets ordered. My jeep is my daily driver and i'm looking to get a bigger better looking and performing rig. i'll be all over the place as for terrain but i like the MTZ/classic II look. i am stuck between 33's and 35's baja belted HP tires run about 34" but nobody knows anything about them.. also after my lift tires and wheels i'll throw on some KC slims and a hood bra just to get a picture of it

35 and 17's with a TF 2.5 BB look like this, there is some rubbing at full flex off-road disconnected.
