Well if its a 91-01 it will be a 31/10.50/15. But since you said its a stock 17" rim with BFG's Im guessing its an 02-up so I have no idea what the biggest size you can put on it. I know of 1 person who put 31's on an 02 but I dont know if he trimmed.

Some one on this site by the name of captainkev put 265/75/16 on his 03 XLT
and said the tires only rub at ful turn on the inside plastic skirt and just did a little trimming. A 265/75-16 is 31.7 inches and a 265/70-17 is 31.8 inches if that helps!
