Default tire sizes

Hello,
I am looking to replace my tires to larger ones. i just did a 2.5'' coil spacer lift, and have put 1.5'' spacers to widen the stance. I am just wondering the largest tires i can put on my stock 17'' rims without any rubbing.
right now i have 255/75/17, and they are too small.
please help
thank you

first of all, welcome to the forum!

second, this thread should probably be moved to the modified section, which I'm sure will happen once a mod sees it,

third, and to actually answer your question, there are a lot of ppl running 35" tires with the exact setup you have. i think there may be some very slight rubbing at full flex with the wheels turned off road, but on road there is no rubbing at all.

i guess he could squeeze in here because he's looking to use his 'stock' wheels.
