Default Best Tire size for 3in lift

Hi, I am a complete beginner in the off road world. Got a disc1 with a 3" lift on terrafirma springs/shocks. Looking at tire options without doing any cutting or modifications. it seems 265/70/16 are popular or a 255/65/16, what size tire are you running and do you have any photos?

Plans for the car is some offroad use and camping, will be adding arb bumpers front and back and make a overland type of a car.

Welcome to the forum, the first step is a lot of looking. The forum has tons and tons of threads on this, so it pays to read some of the other threads and see what each size looks like, and what modifications are needed for each. Different tire sizes will require different associated mods, like axles, driveshafts, trimming, steering stops, bump stops, and wheel spacers to run properly. If you do this incorrectly the vehicle can become undriveable or unsafe. If you have a specific question that hasnt been answered or need more clarification, im sure someone will jump in to help after youve done some research. Good luck!
