I accully have stock. I had mine power coated black. But for my slicks I bought some wider ones from 4wheel parts. Most places wont have it for pre 97 but the 2nd gen they are the same.

Most likly your width is 6in. My tires are pushing the limit. I got 33x12.5r15. So 12.5 is the widest. If you get 35's that is not wider than 12.5 it would work on that rim too. But I do have to have my tires aired down to 30psi to keep it from riding only on the center. tire psi is suposto be 55.

For me it stayed the same. But I Did change my gear ratios to make up for the larger tires.
