new tire help!

replacing the original pirellis. i am keeping the factory 20s but i am wanting a little more aggressive tire. i was thinking of the cooper zeon ltz or the nitto terra grappler. I dont know if i want to stick with the factory size 275 55 20 or go with 305/50 or 305/55. i have a 2wd so i will have to get the 2" leveling kit. Any picks of 275 55 20 in these tires above to help me out please? also for you guys running the 305's, is there any additional wear or extra rotating/maintenance due to the bigger size? any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have the zeon ltz's in 305/50/20 and really like them. They have only been on my truck about 2 months so I can't comment on wear yet but they ride and drive excellent. The 305/50 is not much taller than your 275/55's it is mostly wider. I get a slight rub on the sway bar when at full lock. Not a big deal since it only happens it tight parking. But mine is a 4x4 with a 2.5 level kit so I am not sure if the clearance would be any different on a 2wd? I'm sure someone on here can answer that!

I think you can fit any of those sizes using the OEM wheels and a leveling kit. The 305/50-20's may be the best choice for a 4x2.
