"offroad" tires on a 16" rim

[callee11]

Ok Im thinking of going a different route with my Expy..... thinking of a more aggressive look.... its a 97 2wd but im wanting to know whats the biggest size a/t type tires I can put on it without having to lift it ?.... I see this question allot on here for the 4wds but couldnt find any answers on 2wd.... im looking at using my stock rims just want taller/wider tires on it... sorry if this question is dumb but Ijust dont know much about offroading.... I dont really plan to do any major mudding or anything just cause it is 2wd but mainly going for a certain look..... thanks for the imput in advance

just go with a 31-32 inch and call it done

go with a 265/75/16 or 285/75/16, and you will be fine

265/75 will fit well, I'm not sure how the 285/75 will work with the 2wd. Either size will work with the stock rims.

I have Michelin 275/70-16's on my 2000 2WD no problems with rub or clearance.
I have never looked at my clearances in full lock position but I would think the 285's would work.
