Default Want to look big!

I currently have a 2015 JK Willy's Wheeler with the stock LT255/75r17 Mud Terrain tires on it. I want to beef it up a little and saw some nice pics of some rubicons with Trail Grappler tires and a 2.5" lift on them. Wondering what anyone has on their jeeps that will work on the 17" wheels? I'd like to keep Mud Terrain tires. All suggestions and pics would be great....tires, lift kits, spacers, etc. Thanks!!

This is a tried and true combo! Make sure and go with a quality suspension kit! If you're going to go with a true 35" tire (which works well with this combo) you might want to consider gears, a 35 is the point where performance really starts to take a hit unless you're in a Rubicon with factory 4.10 gears. I would look into a 285/75/17 Nitto in a load range C, it'll work well with the lift while not killing the performance and still gives you the full effect of a big tire. Round it out with a 2.5" wheel spacer and you're good to go!
