Here is a web site I use to compare wheel sizes. A 285/75/17 would be 33.9" tall and 11.2" wide

I just put these size tires on my 2012 Unlimited Sport. I only have a 2.5" skyjacker lift and I wish I would have went a little bigger. Mine are mounted on a 9" wide wheel so the actual height of the tires is slightly shorter than the height of the tire unmounted.

EDIT: Went and snapped a quick photo of spacing for you

I have Nitto Trail Grapplers 285/75/R17 on a 17x8 rim. I too wanted to keep the tires narrow.

They measure just a hair under 34" tall at 29psi.

Here's mine. Teraflex 4" lift with the tires. Sorry, the only pic I have handy at the moment.

Default Width

fifthconspiracy,

How wide are the tires (tread width)??? Do you like the look with your 4 inch lift?

More pics from front, read and side if you could.

Toyo M/T 285/75/17 on a RK 2.5 which netted me approx. 3.5-4" in the front.

Forgot to mention, 30 PSI is 33 inches tall. Procal vs GPS, MPH is dead on w/33".
