Realistically? No lift and no cutting? You are probably left with 31's (31x10.50). You might get away with something like a skinny 32, but it would require some test fitting.
If you are not going to do anything to fit them, that is about as good as it gets. You can't really just tweek the torsion bars in the front, without lifting the rear. Well...you could, but it would look, kinda dumb.
Good Luck,
Michael

I have 33x10.5 on 7" stock wheels: no lift, no cutting, no rubbing.
been running this for a while now on my 88, a few other folks have also done this. there was a guy with 33x12.5 on the 6" rims (+offset) and he said he had minimal contact. looked goofy but guess it worked, so I'd imagine 10.5 tires on the 6" rims would work too.
I have a 33x9.5 spare on a 6" steel stocker and it clears up front lock to lock.
