Default Tire and lift comno help

Today I was looking at some aftermarket wheels and new tires for my 2010 4 door rescue green . I have a 2.5 inch Rough Country lift. I currently have stock wheels with 285's. I am looking at 17 x 9 wheels with 315/70/17's. Is anyone running that size combo or something close? Curious if you have any rubbing/driving issues with that big of a tire.....Thx in advance for any input....

how do you like the lift? That's one of the kits I'm considering. Based on what you paid, does $575 installed seem like a good deal?

I have the same jeep and lift with 18" XD thumps and 35/12/50 nitto trail grapplers and I love the set up. I don't have any rubbing issues with regular driving or trails. If I go hard at it there is a little rubbing in the front but not an issue. Good luck with your build.
I did make my front bumper a stubby so I had more clearance in the front.
