31x10.50s will fit with no lift on an r50.

 

as for other things you may want to get if your going to turn into a serious offroad enthusiast/weekend warrior would be skids...

 

which can be found here

 

Black Panther Skidplates

(I personally recommend these)

 

or here

 

Automotive Customizer Skidplates

Hope that info helps.

 

As per brush guard, sometimes they can cause more damage than protection (NOT always the case) but since you have an 2002 you can fit an arb bull bar bumper, they come with a pretty heavy pricetag but people who have them will say they are well worth it.

This is the clearance you get with LT245/75R16 (10 ply) at the front with the stock suspension:

 

 

And these are the BP skids, 1 hour to install (sorry, I have the only factory blue ones ):
