the larger you go the more you will loose in power.
I would go 1" maybe 2" larger per axil and get the lightest tires possible, maybe mudlites.

The more agressive the tread pattern the more power you loose too with the traction provided.

Bad.
Harder to steer , possible clearance problems on outter tie rod ends and more resistance (power robbing).
Not to mention heavier...
