I had them mount 255/40's for the front, and 275/40's for the rear. I struggled between being able to rotate them or not, but everybody told me the rears HAD to be wider, and I caved, ha ha.

I was really surprised Discount mounted the 275/40 on an 8.5 wheel, it's a little outside the tire mfg's specs.

I'll get some pictures when they come in. I'm still a little ways off getting them on the truck, but soon I hope.
