It would be on a 2008 2wd at stock ride height. So on the 08 they will not clear?

Sadly no. The difference in the front suspension from the 02-05's will have you rubbing the sway bar and upper control arm.

Everyone keeps saying they wont but it all depends on what rim you plan on running. They are only 32" tall (which is shorter than the stock 20s) and 12" wide. I think with a 1/4" spacer you can.

I have a 1.5" wheel spacer with 12.5" tires but you can see I have at least 1.25" clearance

Someone on here said they won't fit on an 07 or 08 due to the tie rods being different. I had 295/50-20's on my 04. They were fine. I've sstuck with factory size on the 08.

3rd set of freaking tires. If anyone cares I'm running BFG's now and they are 1000% better than the Goodyears.

So if they won't fit the 2008. What is the biggest tire that will fit an 08 2wd?

If they do rub, get a set of 1/4in spacers from autozone for $25
i bet that was a super stuffed look

Those are what I have on my truck, Yokohama Parada Spec-X in a 305/50/20 and they are great, better tire life than the nittos too.
