30x9.5 would be good if you just wana stick em on and be done. with minor cut and folds 31's will stuff nice. but 30x9.5s will suit you nice.

do you know what kind of tires you want? what will you be driving? I take it that it will be a daily driver?

Welcome to the forum! Unless you're getting the BB (budget boost) ie, coil spacers & shackles or blocks, then i would just go with the 3" lift. And if you keep your stock wheels the 31's will fit. Or whatever aftermarket wheels you get make certain you get close to the same backspacing and everything.. i dont know much about what backspacing to get, i want my wheels sticking out as far as possible
