Default Lift with tires question

I have a set of brand new Nexen Rodain AT 2 tires that are 235-74r-15I've been told they are 28s and 31s by different people. I want to do a 3" lift but would settle for 2" would these tires look funky with a 2" lift. They are literally brand new and I don't wanna go thru the hastle of buying new tires again getting some money out of my current ones.
I've been trying to find pictures but I can only get on mobile so it's really difficult. Any info would be much appreciated.

there like 28-29. you could run stock or a 2" would give you a little room. too small of a tire for 3" imo.

3" lift and 1.25 wheel spacers will let you run 31's without rub when stuffing or turning. One pic is 235's vs 31's 15" on stock 7" alum rim

That's what mine had on it when I bought it and it was bone stock. They never rubbed either.

I have 235/75-15s on it now. That's the size that was on it when I bought it. No rubbing. But they do look good on it compared to the stock size mine supposed to have. The door says 215s. Which I have seen a jeep with those on it and they look so small. I like the 235s. But will be moving up a little after my new shocks and the rest of my lift go on.
