    I think 275/285's. Just my thoughts though. from the picture it looks like it sits lower to the ground then most.

    X2 on the 275s. 285's would probably rub a little.

    I think you might be able to get away with 285's.

    Yeah depending on what size is on it now, I agree w/ carpenterguy you should be able to fit 285's maybe with a little trim
