Default Tall tires

I have a 92 2wd 5 speed with 3.54 gears. Now I like to kinda day dream because I don't really have the money to do much of what I'd like like a gear vendors and such. But I have always liked the look of tall narrow tires. How tall of tires has someone been able to stuff under their 2wd? I believe at one point I found a 2 inch lift for the front to level the truck thinking I cant now fit taller tires. Also at one point I found actual baja fenders found 1st gens. How tall of tires are you guys able to fit under your trucks? If taller what mods are you doing to fit taller ones?

Do you want the front and back to be the same size is the question?

I wouldnt mind if the rear was a little taller. Since the leveling kit would lift the front. the rake can be put back with taller rears.
