tire options?

Right now my truck is dropped 8 inches in the back plus I am getting one of the water bladders from seal pak innovations so that will drop about another inch(adds 350 lbs).Right now it has the stock tire size of 235/75-15's all the way around.I don't really want to buy new wheels right now so I am going to stay with the 7 inch wheels I have now.The smallest size I have been able to find for the front is a 205/70-15.For the back I can't decide.What is the largest tire size I can fit on a 7 inch wheel.

I ran a 255/70 on 7 inch wheels. If you have the hight clearance you could proably run a 285/75x15 to a 305/75x15 on the rim. The problem would be the height. A 255/70 is about the same height as the 235/75, just a wider foot print. I think the 255/70 would be my personal choice.
