Default 34s on a 2wd?

I have a 3.5" lift on the front of my 05 Lariat supercab 2wd and I found some 275/65r20 which is 34.1" tall and some 295/70r18 which is 34.3" tall and I was wondering if that would fit with a little trimming if necessary?

I have an '07 with 35x12.50r17's (34.5 actual), Boss coilovers at about 2 3/4", no rubbing or trimming full turn either way. My wheel offset is 18mm, just not sure if it's + or -?

Im not trying to be rude but why would you put that kind of money into 35" tires for a 2wd truck?

Trust me I completely understand what you are saying, but I could only afford a 2wd truck. I'm not getting Mud tires and I dont plan on going off road all the time I just want some tires that are taller and have a little more of an aggressive look.

No need to explain yourself.

It's your truck and do what you want.

There are A LOT of people running 35's with a 2wd.

Like I said not trying to be rude. To me it's just kind of like a shirt with muscles printed on it and a fat guy wearing it.

What about the 95% of 4wd trucks that run mud tires and the most off-road they see is a gravel driveway. So who cares if it's 2wd or 4wd. His truck, his money.
