Question 17" ORP tires and wheels on 2wd

Hello, I have a question or two about a 2wd with the 17" ORP wheels. What size and brand are everyone running on a stock height truck? My truck is a 99 and came with the 255-70-16s (3.55 non-LS), will I have to get the speedo gear changed to run these wheels? Just got a set and I am trying to figure out which tires to get. Can I run a size bigger than what Ford puts on the 2wd trucks with these wheels with no change to the speedo? Thanks for the help!

99 and above will need reprogramming by dealer about $50-75 for tire size change. I am running 265/70R17 on a reg.cab. and do not rub under any conditions.

I have 275/60/17 on my 2wd sport and using this tire calculator our diameter is pretty close. I don't believe you would have any problems just bolting the 275/60/17 on.
