Re: tire size

I ran 35s with 4.10s, had decent pulling power and was OK on the highway. I'd say 35s, maybe 33s to give you little more oomph.

Re: tire size

My K20 has 4.10s in the same axles, and 33x12.50s on 16.5x9.75" wheels (just slightly taller than the stock 7.50-16s). You'd have no problems with that size, but with 4" of lift and wanting a tall tire.... I'd go with 35x12.50-16.5s.
