285's and OME lift= too much lift for that size tire??
Trying to decide between 35's and 285's, I am trying to figure out if the OME lift (HD front/Med Rear) would be too much lift for a 285 tire? I don't want it to look like a stock Jeep with a big lift and too small a shoe!
Thoughts, comments?

honestly probably 35's in my opinion.............. I run 265's and they do look really small, 285s would be a little better but I think 35s would look perfect on the lift

Wow, that does look really great. Remember though, that jeep has got a serious winch and serious bumper that helps it out a lot. With nothing on that front end, it might not turn out as well.
Once again though, very nice setup!

I know you are all aware, but 285 is a tire WIDTH and has no bearing on diameter until you take the second and third numbers, (65R18,70R17,75R16 etc) into consideration. So a 285 could be 32" in diameter or 35" in diameter.
That said, I think your 285 mm width tire will be fine, because I think the oddball look with smaller tires is due mostly to the width, not the height. I am running 275/65R18 with a 2.5 Coil lift and it looks OK.
