For a 2wd truck, I think I would go more for the hotrod look than the 4wd off road look. I would check into upsizing to something like a 245/70-15 or a 255/60/-15. Keeping the same height, but going wider with a wider wheel.

You could do that too, and it looks pretty good. What people used to do is get about a 8 inch wide wheel for the rear, but it had a negative offset. They call it "backspace" now, and the wheel had very little backspace, so it set the wheel out, and run a 60 or 50 series tire on the rear. Then you run a normal backspace 6 inch wheel up front, with a 70 series tire up front.

I'd look for 16 or 17" rims, maybe even 18s. Then use a lower profile tire like a 50 or 60, but not some huge Indy looking tire. Whatever comes stock on a new F150 for example. As for the old style look, yea, I remember that. But I'm more into tucked in with a reasonable ride height and not hitting fenders these days.
I put 31 10.50s on my e150...they are better than the old hard stockers, but next time, if there is a next time, I'll probably go to something smaller.
