Default Larger Tyres - ANy Problems

I've put a Rustys 3 inch spring kit on my 99 XJ and am really pleased with it, the next step for me is some bigger tyres. I'm looking at 265/70/15 or 31/10.5/15.

Which would you guys recommend and will the larger tyres cause problems with my diffs or anything else. The garage I went to suggested not going any bigger 235/75/15 because of rolling circumference and diff issues but I know many of you have ! Current tyres size is 225/70

31's will not be to hard on your axles unless you just totally thrash your jeep. This is mine.
This is 31 BfG mud-terrains. With ever 10 mpg your speedo says just add and extra 1mpg exp speedo says 60 you are going right around 65-67. That is a ruff, but it is close enough to keep you out of trouble with the law. That is for 31's.
