Quick(???) tire question

2004 Safari SLE with stock alloy rims. Does anyone know what is the largest (widest and tallest) tire size I can go with without rubbing problems? I just think the tires on it now look too small. Thanks

You could fit a tire about 28" - 28.5" tall without too much rubbing. The issue will be in the front. I would look at something in the 245/60R16 or 235/65R16 size. These are about the same diameter but are around 1" wider. You could do a 265/55R16 which would be about 1.5" wider but slightly shorter. Would look awesome if they are made.
