2" Lift Kit -99 GC

I am putting a 2" lift kit on my jeep and I need help with tire selection. I have been told that 265/70 R16 will fit with out a problem, However I would like a little bigger tire, anyone know how big i can go??? I was looking at 285/ 70 R16 but don't know if it will fit. The stock tire is 245/70 and i have clearance without the lift. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am doing the lift this week.
