tires for 2wd

I just bought a 2wd 2002 f150 xlt supercab and want bigger tires. I don't want too big and was looking at 255/70/r16. Does anybody have any pics of a 2wd with bigger tires without a lift?

Thanks

I need new tires and I don't want to mess up the shift points, but I want to go a little bigger. I don't care if the speedo is off by a few.

Depending on what size you choose it may not mess up the speedometer by that much anyway.

my nascar truck had 255/70/16 from the factory, and I just replaced them with the same size. I think it looks good for a highway truck.

Michelins P265/70/R16

Just went throught this myself. Changed out the factory 17 " P275/60/R17's with 16" P265/70/R16's. The P265/70/R16's are overall a bigger tire. A little taller and as wide as the 60 series P275. They fill out the wheel well much nicer and the ride is better, if you use your truck for highway use like I do.

There are some more pics in my gallery but here is one:
