Default Can't decide!!!!

So i desperately need new tires... and i have the choice of either getting 285/75/16's right now, or waiting another two months and getting 35x12.5/17's with new rims and a 3" body lift. But my current tires are so bad that they might not make it those two months. Any thoughts on what i should do?
