you can also remove your bumper cover when you go to play. It only takes like 15-20 minutes the first time and makes a big difference in clearance. I expect you can take it off in 10 minutes after you do it once.
Shoot, the 4 plugs in the bottom of my bumper weren't even attached so mine took less time

There is a write up either here or on the trailvoy site showing how to remove the bumper cover.
You'll need to do it to put on your tow hooks anyway.
As mentioned keep in mind what your goal is, you'll eventually need tires.
If you need more ground clearance you might want the 245/75/16.
If you need a wider footprint for like the beach you might do what I did and go with a 255/70/16.
If you want to go bigger than that go ahead and get the wheel spacers or rims with more backspace so that you are prepared. Tires are likely to run you over $500 easy
Man what would it have been like for me to have had a 4wd TB when I turned 16. The hunting and fishing I could have done then! I started out with an $800 nissan pickup 2wd that lasted me until my last year in college when some guy on his way to get his insurance renewed T-boned me.
Always plan ahead for maint, at 37 oil changes are expensive so I know at 16 they are but make sure to keep your maintenance up.
BTW, I have tow hooks from Fishsticks so I am in the have parts from another member club!
