Unlifted, What's the largest?
I've had my truck a bit less than 2 weeks and would like to improve it's stance. It has 2WD, 5.4, auto, 3.55, with 235/70R16.
I've read that 265/75R16 are about as tall as one should go, If you want to still have some power for towing with the 3.55 gears.
-But, that's from 4x4 vehicles that have the clearance to fit the 265/75R16's.
I'd like to go to the 265/75 size without having to add a lift yet, if that could keep them from rubbing. I may do the spindle lift to make it work if I have to.
What would I need to do to correct the speedometer on my 01' if I did go larger? Is the computer program adjustment by the dealership I've heard about, tied in to correct speedometer display?
Any Pics of large tires on non-lifted 2WD's?..
Thanks in advance from myself, and a few others out here.

Thanks for the compliment... There is no rubbing what so ever. I was a little worried about the rubbing issue before I purchased my current tires, but they don't rub at all. The 285's I'm betting could have fit under the truck with no problems at all because it is only a 2mm difference .
Here's my scenario:
235/75/16=ridiculous looking
265/75/16=no rubbing but still too much wheel well gap
285/75/16 with 3"body and 2"leveling kit=no rubbing at all
soon to be 315/70/16=hopefully no rubbing
I hope all this helps you in some way
