Default Largest tire for stock lift on a 04 3/4 ton 4x4?

Exactly what it says! I am trying to talk my folks into helping me get one and I really really really don't like the stock tire sizes. What are stock sizes? I was thinking a 285/70(or 75) would work

I don't want any aggressive mud tire or anything. I just want something that would fill the wheel well up a little more....... IMO the trucks look like they are on 14 inch wheels and 17 inch tall tires.

I was thinking about a BFG AT KO in a 285/75--or they might be 70s, and I figured they would do a little better job with looks.

stock 3/4 ton tires are 245/75-16.

can fit 265/75-16 no rubbing

or

285/75-16 w/ a torsion bar crank no rubbing.

285/75/16 look awsome on the 3/4 ton 4x4. Ive seen 305/70/16 fit on a 1/2 ton with the torsion bars turned up.

main issue is the stock wider front track width of the 3/4 tons.
