You could fit 31'' tires no problem. I know some people that have 33's on stock suspension but when taking corners they do rub slightly. I have a 4'' lift on my 87 and it is rated to fit 35's but my 33's rub on the radius arms on sharp cornering

Typically, 33x12.5x15s will fit on 15x8s with no rub.
When I got my truck, it had a 2-inch lift and fit 35x12.5x15s on 15x8 wheels and no rub. However, tires vary between manufacturers even though they are sized the same... Some have bulged sidewalls whereas some are more vertical like my Goodyear Wranglers.
My rig now has a 4-inch lift and is visually more proportioned. It's a trail runner - not a mudder:
