I wasn't intending on making a big change in tread width. I think increasing the cross section of the tire from 9.6" to 11.2" will probably have a pretty big adverse effect on MPG. Additionally I think it'll be much louder.
If I kept the stock height I was planning on using a 245/70-17 tire.
If I went up I was thinking of using a 255/75-17. I think this brings me pretty close. Might not be down to 3.42's but definitely at least 3.55's. Increases the height of the tire from 30.46
