You could easily go with a 235/60. At that size, your choice of tires will greatly increase.

I recommend any place BUT Walmart for tires. Lower profile tires won't fill the wheel well the same as the stock tires. To counteract that, most people go to a larger wheel at the same time to keep the diameter of the wheel/tire combination about the same. They don't have to be high-dollar custom wheels, some stock-type wheels 1 inch larger in diameter would work just fine. Do you have that option right now?

okay i work in the tle in a walmart just tell them you will sign a waver and that should make them happy...i do this for people all the time as we all know that some times stock isnt the coolest thing to happen to are trucks....i also have 1st gen with 235/60r15s on it stock and a buddy has a 2nd gen with a 3''-4'' and has the same size on his stock wheels so they will fit
