New Tacoma Owner...2012 Access Cab 2.7L

Hello, BRAND NEW Tacoma owner here. Just purchased my 2012 Tacoma Access Cab 2.7L I-4 cyl. Wanting to put new wheels and tires on and hopefully a 2 inch leveling kit (or 3 inch lift kit) before summer of '17. So far really enjoy the truck as my daily driver. Highway miles and dirt roads on the weekend are all I put on it. Want to ride a little higher and be more comfortable but stay close to "factory" as possible.
WHEELS: I'm leaning towards purchasing 16 inch rims rather than 17 inch rims. Any recommendations for which brand or type? I've seen where I can buy factory tacoma rims for the double cab model. Pros and Cons to that?
TIRES: With a 2in leveling kit, the max size I can go (with no trimming) is 265/75 R16. I do a little off roading, nothing intense though. Just looking for a comfortable ride and to sit a little higher than what I am at currently. Not looking to lose any serious MPG's though.
LEVELING KIT: Leaning towards 2 inch leveling kit due to not much offloading activity. Don't know a lot about lifting or leveling. Been hearing a lot about Billsteins 1500's too. Don't know much about them however. What is the best 2 inch leveling kit for the 2.7L Access Cab for riding higher and being reliability?

Any photos of y'all's access cab with leveling kit/lift, wheels, or tires would be appreciated. And also advice please. Throw it all at me. Thanks
