Default 16in Tire Sizes and Lift???

So I found these one of a kind icon wheels that look amazing and I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on them.

I'm still waiting on my Rubicon Express 3.5in lift to be installed. But when I do get around to getting installed what is an equivalent tire size to 31x10.50.

I think 265/70/R16 is what I need to get right? I don't want to put too large of a tire. But I do like these wheels a lot more than the Eccos I posted up earlier. I know next to nothing about 16in tires and sizes though. Need some help here. I think these will look amazing on my jeep though.

That size will put you at about 30.6 in and 10.4 wide so thats pretty close to 31/10.50

16" sizes - equivalent size
235/70/16 = 29x9.5x16
245/70/16 = 30x10x16
255/70/16 = 31x10.5x16
275/70/16 = 32x11x16
305/70/16 = 33x12.5x16
325/70/16 = 34x13x16
225/75/16 = 30x9x16
245/75/16 = 31x10x16
265/75/16 = 32x10.5x16
285/75/16 = 33x11.5x16
295/75/16 = 34x12x16
315/75/16 = 35x12.5x16
265/80/16 = 33x10.5x16
325/80/16 = 37x13x16
235/85/16 = 32x9.5x16
255/85/16 = 34x10.5x16
305/85/16 = 37x12.5x16
365/65/16 = 35x14.5x16

the equivalent size is rounded slightly...

So does that mean a 245/75 would be the one to fit without rubbing as opposed to a 265/70? Oh nevermind I see.

Looks like the 255/70 is the one I'm looking for. Arg treadwright doesn't have that size! GRR

245/75 is the size that came with the TJ rubi's...i ran those on my last one with the 3.5 RE lift. i netted around 4 inches on my lift (most RE's run a little higher)...so i cleared no problem. I did end up trimming my fenders, just for max clearance.

Well I don't really want to be beat around if that's what you're saying.
