Well the front tyres will probably stay the same at 255/70/16 or maybe 17". I doubt they'll go bigger diameter than that, because this thing will be commercial focused and will need heavier duty rims and tyres. Only heavy duty trucks run 17"+ diameter.

Now the back tyres won't be any different size unless they run more of them.
Interestingly 255/70/16 are similar diameter to 205/85/16, the latter is a common light truck tyre size.
