Take a look at the search function; there've been many posts about this. But, as a starter you can go easily to 9.5" all around. Or you can do 9.5" up front and 11" in rear with tire sizes of 285-40 front and 315-40 rear. Depending on the actual size of the tire, the 315 may or may not rub a little and it may stick out a bit from the fender in the rear.

Is there any way to check the wheel size by finding a stamp on the wheel,etc. or is the only way to determine size by measuring the wheel once the tire is off the wheel? My wheels are the 5-spoke design.
