In that case the tyre sizes I would recommend are as follows, obviously the wider tyres will require a wider rim. Anything above 235 on an 8" +35 wheel will most likely require you to roll the rear guards. You can go anywhere up to 255s at all four corners depending on how big a hammer you have and how willing you are to use it.

215/45 (Close to stock)
225/45 (Slightly taller than stock)
235/45 (About 10mm taller than stock)
235/40 (About 10mm shorter than stock)
245/40 (Pretty close to stock)
255/40 (Taller than stock)
