I was gonna guess like 31's, which is what a 275 or 285? Yes, it is a 4X4, and has good springs up front, EVERYTHING is still stock, and will stay that way.......

I put 265/75R15's on my truck and it is almost an exact size match for 31x10.50's looks good and no rub what so ever. Could prolly go a bit bigger up to 32's on my Bronco.
