I have a 98 2 door tahoe. I need some new tires, and want to get somethin that will look aggressive without lifting it. Right now it has just some standard 265/75r16s on it. I was looking into some 285s, but will they rub if I take it off road? What would look more aggressive between 265/75r16s or some 305/70r16? Also, can I run 15 inch rims?

Does anyone have any pics of 2 doors with these size tires? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Also, while we're here, does anyone have any experience with the GT Radial Adventuro M/Ts? They sell em pretty cheap at some of the shops near my house. Thanks again.

I have a 96 four door with 285's on stock wheels. My fronts rubbed the top of the fender opening in rough stuff because the stock jounce stops had failed. I replaced them with new Z71 spec stops and haven't had any further problems.
