One option of my winter makeover includes Mamba M2's which I think I'm leaning towards 18's rather then 20's but my question is with a leveling kit (2.5) on my 2wd which tire size would make a nice PROPORTIONAL tire size for what wheel well space I'll have. Sure I could fit some pretty decent sizes but I dont want a stuffed look, just a good even look. The tire and wheel package on tire rack for the 18's is 275/65 and 275/55 for the 20's but Im not limited to those, I'll buy seperate if needed. Appreciate your opinions and help on my ever changing taste and idea's lately.

I'd go for a 18x8.5 wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing with a 285x65x18 tire. These are close to 33 inches tall and will fit on a leveled 4x2 assuming it's a 2004-08 body style. A 275x65x18 (32") will look good also. Just my 2 cent's!

I agree. Another option is a 285/60-18 which is basically 32x11.50 tire. I wouldn't go wider than a 9 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing.

That would be good. A 9 inch wheel with 5.98 inches of BS will stick out about an inch farther than your OEM wheels.

Looking at going with the 275/65 because its much cheaper on tire rack to match that size wheel. I could get Fuzion XTi's mounted and balanced on the 18" M2's for $1,172 plus shipping (110-120). Not to shabby. But I might go with the General Grabber AT2's that are a little more but still under $1500 shipped. Any opions on either tire?
