I'm running 245/70 GSA's on my '96. They are about 29" in diameter and have
about a 7.25" tread width. They rub the frame only slightly on a locked
turn. Other than that, no problem.

I've been running 235/75R15 BFG Long Trail TA's on my 95 Sport 2wd. They do

hit the tops of the wheel wells at times.. But It does get run off road
pretty hard as well. No lift on mine as well.. yet anyway. IF you mainly
use
it for street. I'd say either of those sound fine; but would recommend the
225/70R15's
