It's advanced because it involves modifying suspension and getting larger than stock tires...
The rule of thumb is that you can have a tire 4" wider than the rim so 7" rim= up to a 11" tire
And guys have had 35's on stock rims

Generally a 31" tire will be 10.5" wide. You should be able to run either the 31's or the 30's without a problem on stock wheels. Since you have a mild lift and its probably your dd, look into a good all terrain. BFG gets my vote, but there are tons of all terrains for relatively cheap in that size.
31x10.50 is perfect for the stock 15 x7 wheel. If you air down if will hold the bead better than a 15x8 wheel. Also bfg ats are a great tire all around. They last forever ride smooth. Plus have 3 ply side wall
