You can go with 285/70/17 which are 32.71/11.22's some people have fit 295's on which are 11.61" wide and others have had them rub. 285's also fit in the spare tire area so they are a good size to go with.

I'd also suggest 285's. You shouldn't have any problems with regular street, performance, or a/t tires. Muds you may want to be careful due to a more agressive tread which may cause rubbing in some areas. Gl!

I have 285s on my 2000, looks alot better than stock and they fit on with no problems at all. I did go with A/Ts though instead of the mud tread.

I have 285's (33x11.50) on my truck with plenty of room to spare. 34x10.50's will, and have fit just fine.
