Terrain Tamer 40 mm lift on, 275/65/18s or 275/70/18...?

Finally my Terrain Tamer 40mm lift kit arrived to the UK and delivered!
Installed and I must say I`m very impressed with the kit quality and ride/handling improvement.
I have 265/65/18 BFGs on per photo, not planning to change the original 18 inch wheels as I like them.
So now the big question, I like the achieve some more ground clearance, but at the same time don`t want to run into too many problems...
Has anyone tried any of below tire sizes?

- 275/65/18s STT Pro: Seen a couple of people here and sounds like the option with least amount of trouble/rub but also least ground clearance too....

- 275/70/18s STT Pro: Not seen any here but on some sites from Thailand they seem to be installing them, any feed back and comments will be appreciated.

-285/65/18s BFGs: Again not seen any here but in south America they seem to be running them on original wheels and wheels spacers, I know what the general consensus is on spacers but willing to give a set of "30mm Hob Centric" spacers a try.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Below some photos of the kit....

I am looking to change my suspension and wheel and tyre set up next year so keen to see how you got on with this one. Any update? Any chance of some pics after installation? Does it sit level?

I was looking old man emu or terrain tamer (with option to change to parabolic springs later) but am struggling to decide on either changing my wheels and going for a 265/70/17 KM3 or trying a 265/70/18 and keeping the stock alloys. Not sure if I need a wheel spacer option then to adjust the offset as I read people seem to prefer a +10 for clearance on the 265/70/17.
