Default LT305/70R17 versus LT285/70R17 Goodyear MT/R

Need some advise on what's best for my 2010 Unlimited. I have a 2" spacer lift with skyjacker shocks. I obviously want the most for my money, but do i need to be concerned with the 305's hitting my rear body seams and will I need spacers on the front hubs to avoid rubbing. I have the Fab Four Lifestyle winch bumper currently run have L285/70R17 Nitto Dune Grapplers, which run fine without any rubbing.

Don't have pics but my neighbor has 285/75/17s that measure out at 34.5 inches. Not sure what brand but look great for setup.

Thanks for the pics. I was hoping to see a good comparison. So no issues with the rear body seams needing trimmed or rubbing on the front when turning?

No issues with the pinch seam. What backspacing are your wheels?
