optional tire sizes for 2005

After looking at the wheels and tires thread, the site advertised optional tire sizes. Please share your opinions on the different tire size options listed here.
What tire would be the best in looks and performance. mix matching front and rear sizes? etc....

I saw the 05 today in person (And took about 100 pictures). Now I am sure peoploe won't agree. But it does not look that bad at all. People comparing them to explorer wheels are just innaccurate. The wheels are actually very evenly placed in the wheel well. And they did not strike me as all that tall. My opinion was more along wanting larger wheels. The clearance between the wheel and the brake caliper is VERY small.
