Plus for 30's a body lift would be over kill a good spring lift and a little bit of hammer / plastic cutting and he will fit them quite easily

Mate it's all internalbest way to go would be get the tires and flex it up and see what needs cutting/ bending at a guess will be mainly back of the front wheel arch and bending all the metal edge over in the back wheel arch sorry I can't take pics as I'm in cairns till Friday with work and my car is down in brisbane

If all you want to do is fit bigger tyres a body lift will win every time.

As Dank said. Lift alone doesn't help you fit bigger tyres. If you also space your bump stops it will, but then what have you achieved?
Body lift ( as much as I detest them ) will give you more room for larger tyres.
