235/85 R 16 is probably the best bet.

The vehicle should be happy enough on them.  You can go bigger with the lift, but they will start to affect the gearing.  

What engine is in it ?


I would say the 265s are going to be a bit small.

Er, yes.. I was assuming you already had the lift... You shouldn't need the lift with 235s if you were thinking that was the case.
