What tire setup should i run?

So i got a 3rd Gen t4r with the OME heavies and stiffies and I have a 1in BL lift to put on. I have a KMA multicarrier in the rear and am building a bumper that resembles the fatmoose bumper out front and will have a winch. I am looking for advice as to what tire size combo i could run with the 1in BL or the possibility of goin up to a 2in BL. I want to stick to some aluminum 16x8's with 4in backspacing and if need be throw some 1/4in spacers. I was looking at either 305/70R16's or 315/75R16's most likely Kumho Road Venture A/Ts but might splurge and get Maxxis Big Horns or KM2's. I will definately end up bending back the fender pinch welds and am getting upper a-arms too. What do you guys think? i'm open to all kinds of ideas. I'mma have a good amount of money to play around with when i get home this summer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you could go bigger then 285's with the 1" body lift. I also think, that suspension wise, you'd need Land Cruiser tall coils in order to clear the 305's or 315's and that the OME stuff you're talking about will only help you carry the extra weight. Again, I could be wrong, but that's what I hear. I'm running 285's without a body lift, 890 coils with 2.5" Skyjacker shocks, and Toytec Spacers in the front. I have some rubbing issues in the back, and looking to get a body lift to fix that. If you want to clear those tires, you will probably need the 2" body lift........

As far as I'm concerned, that combo will look badass!!

the 305/70 are only wider than 285/75. they should be about the same height. correct backspacing and maybe a spacer should keep them from rubbing against the frame and a 1" or 2" body lift should keep it from hitting the fenders. the 315/75 i'm sure would need a 3" body lift

aight, so i've been considering what you guys have told me, and i just purchased some TRD FJ Anthracite wheels with 285/75R16 Firestone Destination M/T's on them... and I've noticed that my back sags a little more that I was hoping... I'm thinking about putting in a 1.5inch spacer from toytec in the back and sticking with the 1in BL.... or do you guys think i should cut that 1.5in spacer into a 1in... or do you guys know where I could get a 1incher?

HM JUST CAME IN!

It's not really fair to compare the KM2's to the Big Horns, the KM2's are an insanely good tire and on a completely different level than the Big Horns.
