Question 265/75r16 or 245/75r16 for a 2" lifted d2a?

So, while my 16" wheels don't arrive I need to decide what kind of rubber I'll be using...

The tyre brand I got a good deal is Firestone Destination AT. Keep in mind that I'm building an expedition truck, so looks aren't that important. What tyre size would you recommend me? 265/75r16 or 245/75r16


Thanks

265/75r16 is a good choice coming in at just under 33", but you'll probably lose about a mile and a half a gallon unless you also do gears, in which case I've actually heard of guys gaining gas mileage oddly enough. The 245/75r16 is a good choice coming in at 30.5", but you'll gain about an inch and a quarter less diff clearance.
