    You could run these or go with 30x9.5R15s on stock wheels.

    from the online tire size calculator



    No need to re-gear. You could do some other MODs to compensate for lost power -> remove secondary air filter and install an aftermarket drop in air filter.

    I decided to go with Kuhmo Mohave AT's in 235/75-R15 on my base.
    They will be installed tomorrow.
    I'll put up some pics if I get home before dark...
