You'll need a 275/30/19 tire for a stock diameter tire

BTW, what style, finish, and price range are you looking for wheels?

The more info you give, the better your chances for a good, but quick reply.
Do you prefer a mesh, 5 spoke, multi-spoke wheel? Big, small, or no-wheel lip? Chrome, silver, or black finish?

Remember, the wheels aren't the expensive part of the equation.. it's the tires that cost. 17" tires are cheap these days.
