what size tires

I have a 2006 XLT 4+4 w/ stock rims and tires.
235/75/17
Whats the biggest tire I can put on the stock rims.
I hate this size but, can't afford any other rims right now.
Looking for some AT tires for the winter weather and hunting in Nebraska
Thanks for your help

your best size would be 285/70R17. this will fit great and fill up the wheel wells a bit. probly could get a 295/70R17 on as well but without a leveling kit might rub a little. with a leveling kit you can go up to a 305/70R17 or even a 315/70R17. Good luck.

I agree. You could also fit a 305/65-17 (33x12.50) at stock height on your oem wheels.

Good choices would be the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Extreme AT, Mickey Thompson ATZ, **** Cepek FC II or Bridgestone Dueler. Also, not every size mentioned is available in everyone of those tires.
