If it's in the budget, I would go with the aftermarket wheels and bigger tires.

Ditch the stock wheels!!!! NO spacers!! get new wheels with correct bs 4.5 or less, i just got mine done a couple days ago . dealer didnt have the 315/70r17 duratracs i wanted so i ordered them from tirerack.com but before i got them the dealer did have 285/70r17 duratracs in stock i took the 285's out to my rig to see side by side and the 285's were hardly any bigger then the stock 255's. i am SO happy i went with the 315's. good luck on whatever u choose. heres what the 315's on 17x9 wheels with 4.5bs 2.5 teraflex coil lift look like.
