so finally measured my springs, 15" front 11" rear, after 9 years of owning my 2006 tj, and now know i have a 3" lift. ( was in it when i bought it from the jeep dealer)
Had brand new general grabber at's, just put new goodyear wranglers on last week.
31 10.5 15's.

32’s would look just right. A 31 looks a bit small. Here’s what 33’s look like on 3”. Took this yesterday. It will be getting an extra 1” soon.

What gears, engine and transmission do you have?
 
It should look find with 31s. Maybe a bit of wheel gap but I don't think it will be too bad.

What are your goals? Offroad performance? Looks? Both?
Only you can decide what looks good. Performance requires deciding what maximum trail difficulty level is desired, cycling your suspension, and making the modifications to suit.
