You could get a 245/65, 245/70, 255/60 or 255/65 w/o a lift. A very popular size is 265/70, but you would need a lift. I currently have 235/65, which is about the same as a stock 235/75/15. I plan to go to a 245/65 -- which is around 29.7" in diameter.
 






I've got some 255/70/R16 on mine. They look a lot better than 235s. My mom got her tires replaced on a 2002 and I couldn't believe she had such small ones put on! Unbelievable!
 






P.S. - She has 235/65/R16's I believe
 






i might be selling some yokahama avs/st tires this spring with about 6k on them... they are unidirectional and the size is 265/60/17 (29.6" x 10.7") look great with no lift or drop.
