Absolute biggest would be a 35x12.50, but that is super stuffed and would require you to crank up the t-bars.

Best size 285/70R17 or 285/75R16 (33x11.50) no modification required
Also, 295/70R17 or 295/75R16 (34x12) may require trimming
Or 305/70R17 (34x12-12.50) crank the t-bars

Or 305/65/18 if you have 18's. Will fit perfect.

I have had 3 screws I always ran either 285's in bfg or 33x12.50x17 with cooper tires. 33's require small triming or a leveling kit.

285/70-17's and 285/75-16's are essentially 33x11.50 tires.

I don't know if 35x12.5 would fit at stock, i'm guessing not. I have a 3in body lift and 35x12.5 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain's on and I still had to do a small amount of trimming. But also my torsion bars aren't cranked. But also I'm not sure a 12.5 wide tire would fit on a stock rim. Aren't stock rims 7 or 7.5 wide? When I first went to buy my tires the guy at the tire shop said 285's is the biggest tire you can put on there without doing anything. I'm guessing a 295 would probably be your best size withough going with a bodylift or cranking the torsion bars and doing some trimming.

Several members here and at FTW have fit 315/70-17's (35x12.50) by using the oem 17x7.5 inch wheels, but they will rub the frame slightly at full steering lock. Anything smaller will also fit.
