Tire size for my massive 1.5" lift

Although my tires are still good, I'd like to start checking out some of my tire options. I will be stepping down to either the factory 18", or one of the 16" wheels(I can't recall the name of them)-ones on G4??
Anyway....does anyone know what metric size I should be looking for, to go with my 1.5" lift? It looks like I could go up one size or so, I'm not trying to get crazy, just want that little extra tire under there.

Stepping down from a 19" to a 16" rim would be a big help. I don't have a d2 but I have a near 3" lift and I'm having trouble stuffing 32"s. I think i could have a remedy for that though. I'd keep it around 30-31"

255/55-19 is thirty inches as it sits. You could do a 265/75 on a 16" rim to give you 31.65"

That is what I have on mine with a 2" lift.

i run 265/75/16 on my 2 1/4" lift.

I think a 31" tire would be as big as I'd go for now. I was curious as to what others were running with similiar lift. I do like the way mine handles and looks with the 19s but they are not practical for getting tires for. General tire does make a nice AT for the 19 but its only available in the UK apparently. I'm still torn between getting 16s or the factory 18s. As gay as it sounds, I still want to keep this truck road friendly.

Doesn't sound at all if you dd it. Mine sits in the driveway. Takes me to work at the bar satsand takes me wheeling

Tire size all depends on how much you either lift if or open the fenders up...

I have a 3 inch lift and am going to have to cut my fenders off to stuff 35's

With that said I think a 245/75/16 is a good sized tire little over 30" and decent width. I had nice set of BFG AT's in that size with a 1.5" OME. See the intro section - first pic

great looking build. Need a winch for that bad dog?

I will definitely need a winch however it is not in the budget right now.
