Default new wheels and tires, advice. 95 zj ltd

Some of you may have read my previous thread on my upcoming 318 swap, and you guessed it, I have another issue I need a hand with. Currently I am running 225/70r15's all around. I would like to upgrade to a larger rim, and I am thinking about a v forged 20 or 21 inch rim... but I am at a loss with what tire size I need to maintain or slightly increase my stock tire diameter, that of which I do not know. Please help, I know you guys have some good opinions and advice. Thank you.

On my '97 ZJ I had 245x70x16's which were 29 1/2 inches tall (dia.) and 9 1/2 inches wide. It had the factory Up-Country suspension package.
Hope that helps you.
