With the extra amps and torque motor you wont have any issues turning big tires. I'd go as big and wide as you can fit. The width will help keep the cart from sinking in the soft stuff. When you say lifted are you 6in or monster lifted? At 11in of lift I can easily fit 27s probably max out at 31s but it would look pretty odd.

I bought a used 2013 Precedent lifted 6” that came with 14” rims and 23” tires which beat me to death on dirt roads at a hunting camp. I switched to 12” rims with 23” tires, which were a big improvement in terms of ride. However, in retrospect I wish I had gone with 10” rims and 22” tires. The 10” rims will give you a lot more shock absorption and you’ll have slightly more torque with the 22” tires. Keep in mind that these carts are not ATV’s, although my cart does pretty well on very muddy roads and trails.

If you store your cart in the garage check your clearance between the garage door and the top of your cart. If you go from an 18" tire to a 23" tire your roof will be 2.5" higher than it is now... If you go from an 18 to a 27 your roof will be 4.5" higher than it is now...

The taller you go, the more torque you're gonna lose. For hunting, I love the 22" or 23" tires on either 10 or 12 inch wheels. If you get 14 inch wheels you're not gonna have enough sidewall to absorb a lot of the bumps when off-roading and it'll beat you to death.
