I didnt realize he had a 2wd, I guess I didnt even look lol. When people ask me about off-road tires I generally just automatically think 4wd haha. I guess with a level though he could find a company that runs a really small 35, I know the ones I have on my truck brand new only measured out to a 34.3 or something pathetic like that. lol.

16s CAN fit if you grind the calipers. 35's will fit with a simple front end level kit, but you will have rubbing at full wheel lock left/right, and won't leave you with much room for tires to move around when off roading.

like others have said, 17s with 33" tires is your best bet, no rubbing, no level needed, plenty of rubber to flex for traction, and plenty of room for articulation

discount tires is actually believe it or not one of the better places pricewise to buy tires, they are not going to be cheap anywhere you go.

The size that they told you 275/60/20 is a 33" tire. It's the same size tire pretty much that came on it. It may be a little wider, I'm not sure about the 20's don't have 'em. They have the cooper zeon's for $225 a tire.

Use this link to see the actual size of the tire.

If you went with a 275/65/20 it would be a 34" tire instead of a 33 if you're thinking about a level.
