Default Largest tire on a stock 2013 JKU?

What's the largest tire I can put on it without any issues or modifications? The jeep is my wife's dd. It has 255/75r17 on it stock.

depends on gearing but I have a 2013 unlimited with auto and 3.21's and running 285/75-16's ~33" tires with no issues or rubbing and plenty of giddy up for every day driving.

I have 33" BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 in LT255 80 17 in my 2013 JKUR:

-no rubbing
-no lift required
-no backspacing required on stock rims
-little bit of calibration (AEV ProCal) as tires are actually 32.25" in diameter at about 40 psi
-very low road noise for a mud tire
-handles well on-road as well as off road
-heavy "E" range tire hurts fuel economy slightly, but looks great, and raises the Jeep a bit

These are the only "pizza cutters" that I could find in 255 80 17. I would buy them again.
