245/75 is the common up size (which I have). You need to trim the rear guard and adjust steering stops.

I've never looked into 245's as I need the width clearance for chains. A mate had 245/75R16's on his bighorn.
I have 215/85R16's (30.3") coming. I like being different.:angel:
Also remember a lift does not create clearance.
Depends what you call "bigger" too. Width or height...but I digress.Quote:

I like your idea of higher tyres. TDI ratios suffer a bit tho.
I'm concerned about rear tyre clearance on full compression and losing steering lock.Quote:

These would be a bit smaller in width than 245's with chains and on the front they rub the radius arms where 225/75's and 235/70's with chains don't.
In the rear they get very close on the outer and inner corners at full articulation.
I intend to run the 215/85's as snow/mud tyres. They should be here next week. I'm sticking to 225/75 A/T's for normal usage. I agonised over 235/85 a lot and decided that if conditions get really bad (snow/ice) I needed to be able to fit chains over all my tyres.
I'm okay for torque to spin them.
I admit I have adjusted my steering stops with 245's and car parks are not pleasant, but bearable. If I had to adjust them any further, I'd be going over tight roundabouts out of necessity. :D
