15x10's and a 2" Body Lift. (If you don't like the lift...you'll have to
"alter" the inner fenderwells.)

I'm running 31" BFG's on my stock 15x8's without any problems...well...I did
have to lift the truck 2".

BTW: What's the rearend gear ratio...I had major problems with the 3.55:1
so I changed mine to the 3.92:1 (Sure-Grip).
