Question Bigger Tires?

I have a 2006 Grand Cherokee Laredo, all stock except I installed a hitch bar. I will soon be in need of new tires so I will be buying new rims since the 17x7.5 stock size has such a limited number of rims to choose from.

My goal is to have some decent sized, rough looking tires that come out a little from the sides of the Jeep. Now I'm pretty new to this stuff so I'm not sure how big I can go with the tires before I'd need an expensive lift and I'm not sure how wide I can go.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks =)

So,does this mean you're buying new rims or not?

30x10(or 255/65/17) would be the max you could go,if you want them to stick out a bit you'll need a wider rim,a rim with less backspacing or spacers.
