Anyone running 265/75r15's?

Debating between 265/75's or 255/70's for the rear. The extra height would be nice with the 3.73's till I can get a t5 in this thing. Pics please if anyone has any. Thanks!

Thanks! That's what size I was planning on running up front. I have a pair of 15x6 and 15x8 steelies for the truck. The stance on yours is what I'm looking for.
