You could probably go with 32" tires with minimal or no rubbing. Wtih
no lift, 33" tires will rub on hard turns.
I'm running 31x10.5x15 BFGoodrich All-Terrains on my '00 4x4. No
problems with fit, as the stock Goodyears were also 31x10.5x15 on my
truck. Whatever size you decide to get, check with your dealer and
make sure that they can adjust your computer to read speed, mileage,
etc. properly with your new tire size.
In terms of what tires to get, it really depends on what you want. By
"aggressive," do you mean an offroad type tire or a sticky street
racing type tire? IMO, as far as offroad type tires go, it doesn't
get much better than BFG ATs, or if you're really into it, MTs
(mud-terrain). I've been running my ATs for just about a year and a
half now, and have put more mileage on them than I did on the stock
Goodyears. At the same time, they have significantly more tread left
on them than the Goodyears did. For me, they are the perfect balance
between a good street tire and a kicka** tire for offroad use. They
handle extremely well on the road (far better than the stock
goodyears), and half the time I don't even have to use 4 wheel drive
when driving through dirt and mud (whereas I had to use it for just
about anything with the Goodyears).
You'll undoubtedly get lots of recommendations for different types of
tires, but many on the list will agree that the BFG AT rocks.
