Tire Size Question
I apologize if this has already been asked and answered. I did a search on "tire size" and there were too many results to search through effectively.
I have a 97 Explorer 4dr 4x4 xlt SOHC
I want bigger tires! I like the BFG All-Terrain T/A tires. Currently I am running 275-35-R15 size Bridgestones. They ride great, I just want something with more of an offroad look and better offroad and snow handling.
What are the biggest tires I could get w/o rubbing, and w/o the tires sticking out from the frame so much that I look like a moron. I also plan on getting a couple-inches of body lift sometime down the road, so I'd like to tires to work and look good as it stands now, and in the future after the lift.
Thanks in advance!

I heard that you could go with 31's without too many issues if any. I'd look at the Bridgestone Dueler Revo's though, the BFG A/T's don't perform as well as the Revo's in alot of tests (Though I do like the look of the BFG's). If you like BFG I heard the Radial Mud Terrain tire is pretty sweet (though a bit noisy).

Thanks for the info! I actually have the Bridgestone Dueller A/T Revo's now.... I just am not paticularly thrilled with their snow or mud performance.
Any thoughts on the maximum width of the tire?

Thanks again guys for the info.
explorer72 - what did you search on? I searched for "tire sizes" and jesus..... it was enough results that I'd be reading the posts for a few weeks!
I'll try some other search keywords.
