I wouldn't go wider than an 11.5 on stock wheels...even then as you go to a taller tire you'll still potentially rub on control arms at full lock. My stock TJ wheels with 31x10.5's rubbed the CA's badly. Others claim less rubbing on their similar setups, but are usually AT's with less aggressive sidewalls. I heard each side lug of my MTR's pinging off of the control arms.
The cooper S/T's are what we run on the work trucks at the mine. They do alright, but they're not spectacular, and they wear like iron, but funny. High speeds (70+) melt the tread after a bit, but that could be from running them with a full bed load and not enough psi. Mind you, this is on F250's. And no, I don't do 70+ in fully-loaded work trucks, but it's been done, I've heard. They tend to gum up in thick muck but if there's a bottom they grip well even so. Mannerisms may change with the lighter weight of your LJ.
