What size wheels have you got?
Are you going to change the wheel size?

This link will help to determine tyre size. http://www.hyperaustralia.com/tyre_calc.htm

I have 265/70/16s on my 1997 Limited.
I've lifted the suspension a bit, couldn't say how much 'cause it was lowered when I got it.
 






The biggest tire you can put on the existing 15x8" rim without any lifts/shackles/ TT etc. is a 31x10.5R15. This will still allow full clearance in the wheel well, and turning radius clearance on the suspension components. Speedometer readings will be affected, but I don't know the exact specifics on that. Maybe someone else can chime in here.
