That is a loaded question Chavy.

There are several factors to consider like the rims. How wide are the rims you have or are you going to get a new set? What is the off set of your rims, that makes a difference due to tire rub on the body or suspension. I would say to visit a tire store and let them have a look at your rims and they could answer your question since they are looking at your truck.

I've got 215/75R15 tires on my stock height 79 4x4, but that is with stock 15 inch 86 Trooper wheels. The trick really is to find wheels with enough backspacing, I had previously tried the same size tire on some wider wheels that stuck out quite a ways and they rubbed the fender just sitting still.

As 800 said the trick is backspacing, i found that a 235x75r15 would fit on my truck with no rubbing, they where on stock Isuzu Trooper LS rims which are 15x6 with not much backspacing. I know that when i first got my 215's (before the body lift and SL) that they did rub a little when I made sharp turns, different rim backspacing would solve that problem...and i would go with stock Isuzu Trooper rims ( they work as far as i know, and the wider 15x7 "Snow Flakes" look cool)

I Believe RedLuv80 Had 31 12/50's On His 1980 4X4 But Thats With The Torsion Bars All The Way Tightened And 3" Shackles. Close Enough To Stock Right?...lol Wheels and Back Spacing Is The Major Factory As Previously Stated.

Yes 29's will fit, like said before you'll have to mess around with rim back spacing to get the right fit (try different rim back spacings, more than likely though stock Isuzu rims will work the best)

You should be able to find some stock ones like on a rodeo or trooper pretty easy.

other than a super swamper 28 or 27" they don't really have a lot of options for 14" rims, trust me when i say this, you WON'T regret going to a 15" rim, once you do i gaurantee you will never go back, all the options in the world for tires are in the 15" rim size :wink:
