Well, some people are able to run 31's with stock, and that is the size you will probably want for a 3" lift, but it might rub on the flares and you shouldn't flex or offroad any unless you trim your fenders. 30's would fit. With 31/10. 50/15 you will either need wheel spacers or new wheels with less backspacing to prevent rubbing on your lower control arms while turning. You could also adjust your steering stops and keep the stock wheels but you won't be able to turn as sharp.
