wheel to tire question

[gensic11]

Hey everyone, I have the stock 16" (i believe) deer hoof rims from my 1997 XLT.. i have pretty decent tread left on them but I was wondering what kind of tires I could get to fit my factory rims when i replace them.. but get a bigger tire size other than the stock size.. I dont want anything too big because i'm not lifted at all.. and I dont want to reduce gas mileage because I don't do any offroading and i travel back and forth to school on weekends, I just like the look of the bigger tires.. so is there a way to put on some bigger tires (but not off roading type big) onto the stock 16" rims? if anyone needs a picture of my rims I can e-mail it to you.. thanks for any help!

and also sorry if that sounded confusing

yes you can put bigger tires than stock...

if it is a 16" rim, a 245/75/16 should do you fine... thats around a 31" tall tiree
