My 2WD wants more rubber!
I have a 2WD and want to go bigger on the tires. Right now I have 235 70 16s on it. They look like little doughnuts in those big Ford wheel wells! Any advice?

how about some 17x8" rims and some 275/60-17 tires. They would be the same overall diamiter as the 255/70-16 but are about 4 inches wider than your tires.
with this set up you will not effect the spedo or power much if any, and give you a beefier look
