235's, 30's or even might be able to squeze 31's on there, but I wouldn't go any bigger on stock rims.

I would probably stick with a 235/75/15.  (29" tall tire)

This company has good prices.

They get good reveiws also!

I had a 91 track/w same 4" lift and had 235's on stock wheels. they fit nice and no fender trimming needed. It didn't affect driving unless you like doing 70+ up hills all the time(60 all day long no problem)

hope that helps ;D ;D

Yes, you will probably need lower gears if you go any larger than a 235.

guys I have a 92 kick and when trying to find tires every safety related  paperwork say that I cannot put anything larger than 215/75/15 on the stock 15/5.5 rims


Is this incorrect?
