I'd try to find an 8 to 9 inch wide wheel with at least 5 inches of backspacing. I'd go with a 33 inch tire. Either a 285/70-17 (33x11.50) or 33x12.50-17.

I think 5 inches of backspacing would be fine. If you go with a wheel with less than 5 inches of backspacing, you may have problems with rubbing.
