It all depends on the wheels you have, If you have perfect offset wheels I think a 265 should be no issue, but those wheels are few and far between as the biggest tires you can fit on the stock rears is a 255.

the middle number is the height of the side wall expressed as a function of the tread width. If your going 265 in the rear you should consider a 265/30 tire.

8.5 +40 and 9.5 +45 will require some fender rolling, but 225 front and 245/255 rears would work.
