First check what you can legally put on with the state authority. Going too big could be illegal. Have you seen this spreadsheet?

New tyres needed.. I off road alot and have come from a Land Cruiser. No problems with rubbing in the LC even with 35" tyres. Still trying to learn about the D4
looks like these are the biggest that could fit
31.5" 285/60/18 +36mm OD
31.6" 265/65/18 +39mm OD
32.1" 275/65/18 +52mm OD
32.6" 265/70/18 +65mm OD
32.6" 285/65/18 +65mm OD
any real world advise on what you run?
is it the height or the width the problem with rubbing?
not looking to trim or cut stuff.
I have IID so can set a higher standard height if required.
LT AT tyres only, eg Nitto Ridge Grappler, Faulken AT3W, BFG KO2, Cooper STmax,

275/65 is the tallest you can feasibly go. I have these and they do rub a bit, even after mods. The D4 running gear is not made for anything bigger anyway and there aren't upgrade options.

I have 265/65/18 and my speedo is 100% accurate at 100kph WITHOUT any adjustments to the config files. What is now inaccurate is the odometer as it shows let kn]ms than what has been traveled. Rather have an accurate speedo than odometer!!!

The last three sets have been 285/60/18. I like the size and will continue with it.
However, the first two- Dunlop AT22 and Bridgestone A/T 697s- had only limited rubbing on the guards when articulated. But the current set- Toyo Open Country R/Ts rub a bit more. I've noted a rub on the cable split tube on the inner guard of the front left.
I think two reasons:
1. The Dunlops and B/Stones were second hand (wanted to try the size before purchasing, NB: usually lots of 285/60/18 Dunlop AT22's on Gumtree from LC 200 people ditching for upgrades, I got 6 tyres with 50-60% left for $150.00 the lot) so they had worn some what.
2. The Toyos have a very square tread with aggressive shoulder lugs. Which is the area doing the rubbing on the cable.
Some Comments: The 285/60/18 go well off road. My fuel consumption has increased from the originals. The size should be reasonably available as is a LC standard size. The speedo is fractionally slow (not sure which way you say it) at 100 on the dial I'm doing 102-103.
Quick Q, how commonly available is the 265/65-18?
It seens like a really nice compromise in aspect ratio/diameter but from a casual look the 265/60-18 is on every manufacturers size chart but far fewer in 265/65
