Pardon the rust!




28" tall 275/60R15 in rear. Looks perfect in my opinion.


26" tall 245/60R15 in front, front suspension lowered 2" or more to offset the small tire.


I think I will really like the better filled wheelwell look of the 28" 235/70R15, but I know I will like the handling of the 255/60R15 better.
The extra ground clearance and suspension travel with the 28" 235/70R15 will be a bonus for hauling/towing for me however (look at rockers, truck body is pitched forward - lower in the front currently - would be nice to level it back out slightly).
