I've got the same size tires on my 89. Mine had the GKN style driveshaft, which is known to be junk, and the bigger tires just kind of destroyed it. I replaced that with a Dana/u-joint style driveshaft and haven't had problems. I do have rubbing when I go over a hard bump at like 40 or so though. Other than that I don't have any problems from it. The driveshaft should be replaced if it's the GKN style in my opinion anyway.
