Default Tires with 2.5 in skyjacker lift

I am hoping to put a lift on my 09 unlimited but according to skyjacker the biggest tire you can put on a 2.5 inch lift is 33's however other jeepers say 35's look better. What is the best for this lift without risking damage? Any pics?

35's will fit fine. What rims and backspacing is what u need to worry about.

I have a 2011 Sahara Unlimited with a Skyjacker 2.5" lift. For the last 2,000 miles I have run 35" Hankook Mt's on 17x9 Extreme alloy rims with 4.75 backspacing. No rubs to date on street or mild off-road.
