Default Wheels/Tires?

Just ordered the BDS 3" lift kit for my 96 Limited. Car is original and mint condition so would like to keep it that way and use original ugly wheels.
Are there large tires I can install with the lift that will fill the wheel well ?

Thanks for the response!
Zero rub?
This is going to be my designated fishing vehicle so I want zero issues and need dependability so i would rather be safe than sorry.

A little at full stuff in rear. You may have some rub in the front with full lock on the steering wheel. But just back the steering off a tad and it goes away. I have run that size for years no big problems

Hmm sounds like I dont want to use those- To many rutted roads and lousy boat ramps. I dont want to run into any problems- just want to get to/from fishing spots..........
