Default Wheel and tire selection

I have a 01 supercrew lariat 4x4. Right now it has 285/70/17 Toyo open countrys. I had found a pic on google of the look im going for with my truck. Im thinking smaller wheels and bigger tires than I have now since I dont really like the wheels I have. Im not sure if the truck belongs to someone on here but this is it:


and mine (not the greatest truck I know):


What are your opinion on wheel and tire size I should go for to get this look? Any help appreciated

If you change the overall height, and hence circumference, your speedometer, and odometer, will read wrong from original. Keep this in mind...

Tire size calculator.

Im not too worried about the speedo, I just dont like the wheel gap i have right now plus i'll be needing new tires in the future. I suck when it comes to wheel and tire sizes
