265/70R17
275/65R17
Both will fit without modifications to the suspension.
However you will need a spacer for the spare tyre carrier on the rear door or the tyre will rub on the paintwork. You can make your own or I am currently organising the next batch for manufacture if you are interested.

Does not matter which brand. Physically increasing the size of the tyre will make you loose the Hard Wheel Cover and you should get some sort of wheel spacer for the rear if you value the paintwork on the door. There is also an option for BFG or Bridgstones in the 265/65LT which could be the go depending upon what flicks your switches and how legally pedantic you want to be.

Not sure on the 275/65 but I would stronly recommend doing something about your suspension if you go a 265/70 to reduce tyre rubbing on full lock.

Re: cooper st / bfg atr

I run the Cooper ST 265/70 on my Prado. Had them fitted prior to my lift and found that they only slightly scrubbed on full lock, full compression. Now with my lift, doesn't even come close.

As for 275, I can't help you there.

Cheers,
