i aprreciate the sarcasm though. now where are the others get in on this. i know theyve got nothing else better to do

for the op, i wouldnt go bigger than 22s because if you hit any bumps, its going to be rough. make sure your sidewall is pretty big because ive seen people crack a rim before.
i dont see anything wrong with 22s or 24s on 2wd. theyre not going off road

well ive always liked the off road look much better too. I've just read a lot of horror stories about front end problems and gas mileage. I originally wanted a 5 or 6 in lift with 35s

Don't throw us all in the pavement-queen category. My 2wd lives off-road

from what i read as long as you dont go bigger then a 35" tire you will be alright and you should not lift more then 4" due to cv angles. right now i'm averaging about 12 mpgs with my 6" lift and 35" tires
