The size of the tire is going to directly relate to the rim size. Without knowing what size wheel you have no one will be able to answer.

If it is 4wd you could crank the torsion bars up some and probably fit a 285/70/17 that is if you have a 17" wheel a 16" wheels would be a 285/75/16 i think you could fit those

where do you rub? i am running 285/70/17 on a 17x9 with 4.5" of backspacing and i only rub when the wheel is turned just right and i hit a big bump. I never rubbed when i had the 285s on the stock wheels excapt the lower control arms

It all depends on how much cutting you wanna do.

Try a heat gun before you cut any out of the fender liners. Easy to reshape when warm.
