need help with tires

I read lots of tires size threads, but didn't find one concerning my model. I have a "99 standard cab, 2wd, v6 with stock size tires and rims (16's with 235/70r16). I'm looking to get new tires and want something a little bigger. How big can I go without rubbing, 255, 265?

255/65's 255/70's will look just right. i hated my truck when it had the 235's. I got the all terrains, it drasticlly changed the look of the truck for the better

265's would take up too much space in the wheel wells and IMO would look tacky on a 2wd w/o some kinda lift
