You could go with 32x11.50s or 33x10.50s, I think you could go as wide as 12.50 but not sure how well the tire would wear, I would probably stick with 11.50s or narrower myself.

i agree... a 12.5 wide tire will fit.... but may not wear all that great..... if staying with the factory rims, a 10.5 inch or the 11.50 would be ideal....
 






i got 32.11.5 on stock rims and they look decent but i wouldnt push it further than that
 






I'd go a 33x10.5 or 9.5 with the duff lift on stock wheels, especially with the body lift.
 






You can run up to a 12.5" wide tire safely, but your air pressure will need to drop to around 22lbs to get a good wear pattern. At least that's what mine needed to be at when I was running a 33x12.5 on a 15x7 spare.
 






Little off topic, but, Think I could fit 33x10.50s on Stock rims with just Shackles/Spacers? Im willing to trim fender wall and maybe just a little metal if need be.

I had a test fit of a 33x9.5 with spacers/shackles and had no rubbing in the shop lock to lock. Didn't test compression and lock, but it can be done I'd say.
