If your Trac is stock height you can fit up to a 265/70/16 tire. Check out the sticky's above to see tons of pictures of members rides lifted, stock, etc...

Oh Yeah, Welcome to the site.
 






Welcome. I'm a bit north of you in Dublin (formerly from NW GA). We'll need to know a little more info about what you got. Assuming stock, ou should be able to get 265/75R16, 32s. It'd be easier with a torsion twist and Warrior shackles. The "Lifted Sport Tracs" thread is a great place to start, but there is a ton of info to dig around in.

As for a mud tire, not many people do mud tires less than 33" but they exist. Just search around tirerack.com to get an idea of what you want.

You're a week late for getting my 265/75s. I sold the tires this week and would have practically given them to you with the wheels, tires, spacers and maybe even shackles. I'm waiting on my new wheels to arrive and get the 35s on.
 






if you want to get mud tires for your trac without lifting it you can fit 30 or 31" muds. i know because ive done it before. if you do a search on "genoa peak" you should be able to find pictures of my trac with 30" muds on it with no lift.
 






I'm not an expert, but when I had my 33's put on stock rims I was warned about the rims width as well. I am running 285/75/16 on the stock rims that are 7.5" wide. The tire place recommended at least 8" wide rims for that width of tire.

Just some food for thought
 






AFAIK, all 16" ST stock rims are 7" wide. 10.5"-11.5" wide tires will fit fine on the stock rims. An 8" wheel can fit a 12.5" wide tire.
