Default just bought a 98 classic

Hi all-

I just bought a 98 classic with the Gunmetal 5 spoke wheels and I wanted to put some meatier tires on. What size tires will fit the rims, but stick out a bit and give a wider looking stance?

I'm not looking to do a lift at this point,

Thanks!
Kai

I wouldn't go any bigger than 31x10.50s without spacers on stock rims. They have a monster amount of backspacing and anything wider than a 10.50 you will have lugs rubbing the LCAs when you turn and my 32x11.50s just barely clear the rear leaf springs.
