285/40ZR17

Many people will foolishly recommend a 315/35ZR17 which is not designed for a 9" wheel.

For you stock wheels if they are going to be on a daily driver go with Nitto Drs.

the mickey thompson dr are a better tire, but not so good in the rain. i recommend them, but for your application, it would have to be 275/40/17.

16x8's I believe. Go with a 255/50 BFG dr, it'll hook better than the nitto's, and you could drive in the rain......slow.
