Default What size tires should I go with?

I am adding a 3 inch rustys lift to my 99 cherokee sport. I have 16 inch rims and I am trying to decide between 245/75/r16, or 265/75/r16

What do you guys think?

245=30.5"
265=31.6

31 is generally recommended for 3" lift, I would go with the 265s. Keep in mind that most sidewall measurements are bigger than the tire actually is (your 31 may be a 30 or whatever). I think youll be fine
