Default Biggest tires for stock 16x7's?

Posting from my phone, not too easy to search.
What is the largest tire I could/should run on my stock 16x7 wheels? I need a tire for street and some offroad (Sand) jobsite use. Gearing is not a factor in this choice.

I now have 245/75/16's. Can I go to 265, or 285?

I can drop pressure for sand driving.

THANKS!

we had a customer put 305s on but they have to be balanced every oil change. but the revos are good and check out the AT/S not a good mud tire but should do pretty good for what u gotta do or u can check out the Firestone Destation A/Ts, they are a really good tire

Thank you.

I wanted to stop on my way home for these. I ended up with 265/75/16's. They fit fine, and seem to ride fine so far. 285's were a good bit more $, and I didn't see the need for them.

I've got probably 10,000 miles on them, i rotatethem usaually every oil change to reduce the chance of the chopping. The truck was atstock height till yesterday, they rub some on real sharp turns.
