Largest tires for a 2003?

I have a 2003 ltd with the factory 17" rims. The truck is stock. I use it for work in the bush a lot and it has no clearance. Anyone know the largest tire I can squeeze on and how much clearance it would give me? My explorer is constanting dragging the suspension and drivetrain and I am going to have some damage soon. Thanks.

You might want to consider lifting your 91 XLT and driving it, rather than trashing your 03 limited out in the bush.

Your probably right but I sure like driving the 03.

I would stay with the 235/70/r15
Any wider just burns gas
