If I'm not mistaken, 255/75 R17 are appropriate on a stock vehicle.Click image for larger version

If you go with a simple lift, like the Teraflex Leveling Kit (super easy to install, and only about $130), you can go as large as a 34" tire.

285/70-17 with 1.5" wheel spacers in the AT KO (55lbs D, 59lbs E.) Other option is the BFG KM2 in 255/80-17 (no lift or spacers needed, slightly larger than the stock option @ 33.3", 54lbs E.) I prefer my KM2s over the AT KOs I've had in the past.
