Maxxis 15" 10 ply or equivalent with their higher PSI inflation and higher load carrying capacity rating. Not a big deal to put 1/2" to 1" spacers in to acheive a little more clearance if so desired. Another way is to put 4 rubber bumpers in the virtually stop the axle from going the final 1/2" for the tires to hit the wheelwell inner. The rubber bumpers cushion so there is no hard hammering effect. Jayco frames can take their use. Try driving a 16P nail with a rubber hammer and then switch to a steel hammer and see what happens. You'll answer your own questions!
However, I wouldn't advise doing it with Lippert frames as so many have had real issues, flexing, and failures. Constant frame flexing usually results in propagating cracking and fracturing of the steel rails and/or weld joints at high stress points.
