Default Tire Sizes for 18'' Wheels????

Hey Guys,
I have a 2006 GMC Sierra RCSB 2WD and I am thinking about purchasing a set of KMC SS 820 wheels in 18x9 with a 6 on 5.5''. I like sidewall with my tires and I want to get a fairly wide tire such as a 275 or preferebly a 285, but I'm not sure what aspect ratio to get. I want a tire with enough sidewall to fill out the wheelwell and that will allow a 2/4 drop with no rubbing. I'm thinking about 285/60HR18's. I'd would greatly appreciate any pictures of similar sizes so I could get an idea of what they look like and I'd apprciate any input on sizes also. Thanks again!

I have 285/60/18's and I love 'em. Here are some pics. My truck has not had any suspension mods.
