MOPAR 2 inch lift and 285/70R tires ???
Trying to work out the MOPAR 2 inch lift from my local dealer for my 2015 JKU and I think I want to go with 285/70R17 tires. Since everyone calls these "33s", will they look OK or too tiny? I want that size for "mpg" and so forth but don't want them too look like donuts. Anyone have input on this or actually have this setup? I'd love to see some pix! Thinking on the Mikey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 tires that I could use some thoughts/input on as well.
I know, I know... so needy......

With a 2" lift the 285/70/17s will look IMO "balanced" not to small not to big for that height. They start looking small at the 2.5"+ range. I know my first set were 285/70/17 Kelly TSRs on a 3" lift.
I now run the ATZ P3 (315/70/17) out here in the mountains and deserts of SouthWest . They have performed traction wise outstandingly and with their 3ply sidewalls and full coverage side biters are proving nearly indestructible. They are built on the MTZ carcass which are well known for their strength.

2in. AEV spacer lift.
I have 2in. AEV spacers with Mickey Thompson rims and LT285/70R17 P3 tires and I think the 33in. tires look really big on my Rubicon, I think 35in. are just to big for a DD. I'm very happy with the 33's
