Default Help with tires please

Hey everyone i am in the process of buying new tires for my truck and i would like some input. I currently have stock tires 265/75/16 and would like to get some thing a little bigger. I would like to know what are some of the less expensive A/T and M/T tires that would fit my wheels since i do not want to get new ones. The truck is not lifted but i would like to get a 2" leveling kit. From looking at other peoples trucks i would like to get a tire that is wide so it sticks out a little from the sides.
This is kind of the look that i want.. http://dodgeram.info/tech/mods/tires...s/nsmailDE.jpg

So my question is what size of tire would i need to achieve that look? And if anybody could send me a link to prices that would be awesome!

Judging by what the front tire looks like I would say that the rim has more of an offset than the tire is wide. You may have to go that route, or maybe some wheel spacers.
