With or without modifications?


Without modifications, using the 14" allow wheels, the largest is a
27x8.50-14. BFG makes a good one (I have them) and Dunlop and Firestone als
make them.


If you go with modifications, you can use a 15" wheel and go to a 215/75-15
which will fit.  If you upgrade your trailing arms and cut your fenders a
bit, you can probably go up to about 30" or 31".   But then you'll need
gearing and a motor capable of turning those tires.
