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?

 

Depends what look you are going after. 265/75/16 work great......Dave

My 2WD has new rubber...305/70/16s. I had to install a 3" lift to get them in though.

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
