They just don't fit, IMO. Between the offset and the lowering - I had 255/70-15s on my truck when I first lowered it with the ECE disc conversion - there's just not enough room.

I've got 245/60-15s on the front of mine now and they're as big as I can go, I think. No way the 275's I've got on back would fit. They've only rubbed once (which was on a really weird bump - normally it bottoms the crossmember before it rubs with these tires and I've done that three or four times in the 10-15,000 miles I've had it set up like this)
