AEV 2.5 lift and 255/80R17 tire

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a lift and new tires. Right now I'm looking at an AEV 2.5 lift and 255/80R17 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tire. Is anyone running this setup? Keep in mind my Jeep is a daily driver.

IMO those that tire size does not look good at all. You need at least a 33 inch tire ( or equivalent) on a 2 1/2 inch lift. But again...just my opinion.

actually255/80R17's are a tad over 33" they are fairly narrow and a true pizza cutter.
