I can't resist threads about tires. Nothing can stop me from clicking on them. I'm not even sure why.
I don't have anything to add of substance.

There certainly are quite a few to peruse.
I almost traded for that two door , I needed 5000 better price. I passed for now .I can't help with the tire size question but I love that two door Bronco in the pic.
The answer is yes, but they may rub off road depending on the true measurement of the tire. 245/65R17 seems to be accepted as the largest common maximum without trimming plastic, dealing with rubbing at extremes, or any other concerns as far as I've seen.
You can use willtheyfit.com to compare sizes. As a disclaimer, this is based on what I've read and not my own experience, but I'm planning on 245/65r17 when the time comes.

To avoid any problems, I just went with the stock size 17's when I got the Goodrich Trail Terrain tires.

Be careful of replies from those of us with Badlands or First Editions. I believe ours have 1" more lift than yours does. I was looking at a site recently, and they said I need the 1.5" lift to put those 235/70R17s on.
I like the higher aspect ratio because it means more cushion between you and the rocks you're driving over. My friend upgraded his GMC 1500 from 15" wheels to 20" wheels, and it rides much rougher off road.

Standard ground clearance is 7.8" The Badlands/First Edition trims have an additional inch of ground clearance. 1/2" comes from longer springs; the other 1/2" comes from taller tires.
