Don't waste your time with the 16" as they will not clear the calipers. 17" or larger only. Web sites are plenty, just check google. I also like tire rack when it comes time to look at wheels, suspension, tires, brakes, etc.

285/70R17 which equal around 32.8x11 so i think that will fit in the wheel wells.
