generally I have found that 7.50 tyres are pretty good ofroad, they tend to have massive shoulder lugs - great for pulling yourself out of ruts.

try them and then change if you feel the need.

std wheels i would say they are 16x7j so you can fit anything thats 16 inch on them  :lol:

width wise people say dont go any bigger than 265 wide, but ive got 285/75 r16 cooper stt's on freestyle allys which are 7j wide and have no probs and also i run 35 inch simex that are 11 inch wide on 7j rims no problems at all

hope that helps
 
but with out a lift youll just be able to squeeze 33 inch tyres under

All good bar the fact standard Ninety/One Ten/Defender rims are 6"... so technically a 750x16 is the biggest you can fit (wolfs/HD and Deepdish are 6.5" and Disco steels are 7")

Although, a lot of people do fit 235x85x16's onto them... some tyre manufacturers say you can, some say you can't.
Depends on the make of tyre, and the views of the person fitting them.
