Tire Size?

Ok, new to the site......I have an 05 Eddie Bauer 4.0, with KKM intake, Gibson Exhaust, Black Heads and corners, Emblemless, Black Bull Bar and black taillight guards.

I have a question. I am keeping the stock wheels which are 17". What size tires would fit best, without rubbing? I am looking at the Hankook Ventus RH06 sizes, 275 60 R17 and 285 60 R17. Should I have any problems with either of the two?

THanks for your help.

yea those would fit if ur looking for a wider... if ur looking for just a straight up bigger tire, the biggest that would fit without rubbing is a 265/75/16
