Their standard size is 265/70 16 which is just under 31"
I have changed
mine to 265/75 16 which brings it to 32"
That is sitting on the legal limit as ADR only allows you a 15mm increase in overall diameter.
Most people however will run 285/75 16. i know 285 will just rub at max travel. Most cops and DOT will leave 285's as it looks normal for a 2" lift. Depends who you get. My brother is a cop and i know some are pri*ks and go through your truck.
i personally can't justify the cost of 285's compared to 265 and a 1/2" rise in clearance.
It also means more power running 265's as i'm pushing a smaller diameter. Heaps in rough or tricky terrain when i need every ounce of juice.
