Default stock wheel, tire size

i did a search and could not find the answer im looking for, so im sorry if this is a repost....but as many tire size Q's as there are someone should put a sticky on tire size vs. drop size vs wheel size. i have stock 17's on my sierra, i like the look and dont have the money for the wheels i would like, so my question is, what is the widest/ best fitting tire for my 06 rcsb with a 2" shackle drop. i would like to go lower but i tow on occasion and i found out the 2 in the back is about as low as i can comfortably go while this is my main vehicle. im looking for a decent sidewall, no LOW profile but a little smaller is ok. width is what i am looking for.


short version: 17 stock wheel, what size for width and decent sidewall....

TIA
