looks like 265/75r15 fitted.

you limiting factor is your lift, need a suspension lift, a lift you are talking around £215 for pro comp uprated springs, and new shockers.

And a nice set of M/Ts 32 10.5 r15s :lol:

or you can go to 16" rims 8)

Really depends on how hard you push it?
Just laning or mild off road, i think you would get away with fitting taller tyres to your existing wheels, Have you turned the front torsion bars up which will give you another 30m/m clearance.
Both of mine have had the front bars done and cope with 31x11.50x15 M/T's.
One of them on quite extreme ground for a fairly standard Paj and no catching anywhere, will replace these with 33's M/T's when they need replacing, but i am already buying the parts to raise the rear end including es9000+2 the front will probably require a small amount of cutting though so they dont catch off road.

I'm currently running on 265/75/15 a/t's but would like to get more aggressive m/t's pref. bfg's, what equivalent imperial size could I get away with without any mods :?:

31.10.5R15 m/ts will look super fine on yours mate with no extra work., you may have to crank the torsion bars, see mutz's earlier post, really easy to do and no cost. Just levels out the stance of the paj.

Depending on rim width you could get away with 11.50.
I have 31x11.50x15 M/T's and no problem with catching at all.

Paj  Boy with your Paj on the level, does it sit level or lower at the front?
Because from your pic it looks like it has had the front torsion bars turned up as it sits fairly level.
You could look at the front lower bump stops if they are close to the stop its been done.

Why would you want 18s?
your not going to pimp it?
