What brand? You mean what size? As you already know I'm running 225/35 and 255/30. As far as the front goes there isn't any room in the wheel well on tight turns. So I tend to take wider turns but the rear I feel like I could have went 265 which should get you on to the lip with no stretch. Depending on your ride height you may have to shave the rear quarters as there is a little lip on the inside which has the opportunity to rub depending on ride height. I'm on Sumitomo.
