New to Board, my new 82

Here is my new 82 Step I just picked up, looking to put some new tires on it, currently running 275/60/R15. Want to keep same wheels but looking to put some bigger tires on rear. Any ideas what will fit with no issues?

Re: New to Board, my new 82

Truck looks good with the 275 tire, a 285 is a bit wider but not much when going to a 295 it is wider yet but a 50 series so lower, not great. Looks like the front are fairly wide, could go not as wide on front and will make rears look wider, but think it looks good the way it is, if it was a bit lower the tires would fill the wheel wells up more and also look quite a bit better.
