Sticky for what tires will fit what?

I looked around and didn't see anything like this. How about a sticky detailing what tire sizes will fit what? For example,
D1 16" stock:
D1 16" 2" lift:
D2 16" stock:
D2 16" 2" lift:
D2 18" stock:
D2 18" 2" lift:
Etc..
My 02 D2 has the factory 18" alloys. When the highway tires that are on it wear out (255/55/18. I think this is a 29" tire.) I'd like to get as much tire on it as possible, and looking at numbers on the Tire Rack website makes my head hurt. I'm sure other guys are in the same boat!

Or just put new tires on your 18's and make sure to get a size correct tire on the spare in case you actually do break one of those 18's. I hear a lot of talk about it happening but have yet to see/hear directly about it...
I went from the 2nd set of stock 255/55/18 (29in) up to a 275/65/18 (32.5in). Of course I did do 3in of lift, but hey there is a guy on here who just put 33in (actually 32in) on a stock D2.
My 2cents - do what you like and don't let people tell you what to do.
I typed "what tires will fit" in to the search bar and this is what I got. Not exactly what you want, but its a start. Maybe you can put all of the info together that you are looking for and give it to Mike to be verified and he will make us a sticky?
Discovery
235/70-16: Stock tire size.
205/80-16: Stock size in many other countries. same height as 235/70-16.
255/65-16: same height as stock
225/75-16: little taller than stock
245/70-16: little taller and wider than the stock size. reportedly, no need for lift, just minor trimming to fit those tires.
245/75-16: popular size for OME suspension lifted vehicles. require slight trimming on the rear wheel well fender, and may also call for adjustment on the steering bumpstops.
215/85-16: same height as 245/75-16. but narrower. seems to be preferred for the snow and mud.
265/70-16: about as tall as 245/75-16, but wider. will require more trimming and steering bump stops adjustments along with taller bump stops over the rear axle.
265/75-16: almost 32" tall. Same as stock NAS D90 tires. Will require even more trimming.
235/85-16: same height as 265/75-16 but narrower. And seems to be the most popular size with OME lift.
255/85-16: about 33" tall...very few people have fitted this size. Lots of butchering for this one.
285/75-16: about 33" also... but very very wide.
Discovery Series II
255/65-16: Stock tire size.
255/70-16: Just a bit taller than stock.
265/75-16: Taller and wider than stock, possible to fit without lift. minor rubbing. Looks real balanced with mild OME lift.
285/75-16: even taller than 265/75-16, r requires a bit more lift than the regular OME lift. some have fitted OME751 from Discovery series I, and changed SLS sensor in the rear to achieve almost 3 inches. Gearing and shaft strenght become issues.
255/85-16: a bit taller than 285/75-15 but narrower. Gearing and shaft strenght become issues.
