Tire Help!

I have a 2005 F150 Lariat. It is not 4x4 but i plan to do a leveling kit on it.
But the question i have is this. Im buying a pair of 22's for it and i dont know what size tire i should go with. I want it to be a bigger tire then what people would normaly put on 22's. I Really just want it to fill out the wheel well.
What size tire should i go with and what is a good brand that arnt hella alot of money.

thanks

Are you wanting a offroad look or a street look?

I'd suggest lowering the rear with a set of lowering shackles and going with a 305/40-22 tire. That is basically a 32x12.50 tire and will really fill up the wheelwells. It will give the illusion that the truck is lowered but you will actually have more ground clearance do to the height of the tire.
Also, I really like my Falken STZ/04's and they are not that expensive (for 22's anyway).
