Damn 4x4..Why such big wheels? are you trying to stretch the gearing?
Also being that high you're creating a lot of lift and drag under the car...

I needed to run a 26 inch tire for traction. They dont make very many sizes for FWD that will work on the street. You can get 235/60/15's or what i had 275/50/15. If you dont put tall tires in the rear it looks stupid and more important you need the weight on the front tires. FWD still has weight transfer. I guess the drag and lift wasnt bad because the car was fast.
