running 245-70-16's on mine, have fitted 31" tyres on stock suspension but it rubs on articulation.

I would (will) put a 2" OME lift on ours when wifey gets something new & I get to use it  :lol:  & probably 265-75-16s (will have to mod the steering stops and the plastic trim on the rear edge of the front wheelarch

A good place to start for a lift is to decide what wheels/tyre combo you going to run. Then get lift to suite wheels.

From an old JP Magazine suggests that a good start for wheel choice is by wheel base of vehicle, and has a chart as follows;

Wheelbase (inches)_________Tyre (inches)
80-90____________________32-33
90-95____________________33-35
95-100___________________35-36
100-105__________________36-37
105-110__________________40-42
120-plus__________________42-44 plus

It does say this should only be a starting guide and adjustments to be made for budget,  type of use and lift used and other adjustments to body etc may be needed.

Hope it helps

If you go to larger tyres theres a good chance you need to re gear this should help
