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.

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.
