33's look perfect for a 2.5 lift. Its hard to notice the power difference with the 33's also. I would imagine it would be much more noticable with 35's. For most of you offroading needs, 33's with a 2.5 BB is plenty. Theres not much that my friend with 37's can do that i cant. Hers mine with 33's and a 2.5 BB teraflex.

33s are not much bigger than what you get on a Rubicon.....but you will wish for 35s.....then you will get 35s and wish for 37s......and so on.
If you do mostly highway or in town as the a daily driver get 33s. It will be more than enough for occational wheelin'......still you'll wish for 35s. I getting 35s, but really wish I had room for 37s....if I get flat fenders they might fit......you always want to get bigger.....

33's look good with a 2-2.5 inch lift however with my 2.5 i just went with 315/75R16 which comes out to 34" even. therefore i'm bigger than 33's but still have barable mileage and can wheel alot of places 35's can go. and the flex isn't half bad either!

I went with 33's and very happy with them! I stuck with the 33's mainly because of my 3:73 gearing....to many mountain passes for 35's!!! Also, re-gearing is not in the budget!!!

Yamaha90 does have a beautiful Jeep, my compliments. 
As for the discussion at hand, I've got this to say.
Occasionally, guys get caught up in a certain look rather than taking careful assessment of their needs and what sort of driving they do. I'm not saying it's uncool to troll around town in a spotless, never-see-the dirt JK on 35s, but to get 35" tires based solely on a belief "small" tired Jeeps can't conquer difficult trails is in err IMO.
eric23 said it best: 33s are perfect for a BB lift.
