05 stx 2wd with 2.5 level kit, need rim/tire info

Like it says, if i put a 2.5 level kit on the front, and keep 17" rims, what size rim will i need as far as the BS and i have seen similar trucks with 33" tires, bu what size? Im not familiar with 17" tire sizes, only 16's. So im looking at a 17x8.5 rim and 33" tires. thanks for your replys.

First off I think a 2" kit would be better on a 4x2. The wheel backspace should be 5 inches. This would stick out 1 1/2 inches more than stock with 8 1/2' wide wheels. A 285x70x17 AT would look great, these are close to 33 inches tall and 11.5 inches wide. A 305x65x17 may work but you may have some rubbing.
