I would say either 285 75 r16 or (305 70 r16 i think will fit) on 16" rims. Or 285 70 r17 on 17" rims. Or 285 65 r18 on 18" rims. Would look nice. And these tires look good.

I actually just got me some new rims and tires last week. I went with 275/65R18 and i didnt have to put a lift on my truck but i did have to raise the tortion bars. It got an inch out of the tortion bars and was able to stay within aligment specks so that was nice. That size of tire is an inch bigger then stock so I did get a little more ground clearance. It looks way good to!!!

i agree you can get some beefy tires on a set of 16s and theyll fit in wonderfully without needing a lift and fill out the wheel wells nicely.
