It's time to replace the BFG All Terrain T/A's on my '70 1/2T 2wd. Since the truck is long since retired from hauling wood, I have picked up and powder coated some 4X4 ralleys and am looking at Radial T/A's. I'm trying to decide between 275/60's and 255/60's. Any opinions on what would look the best ? Pics perhaps? BTW, I have front drums, and it's stock height.

--Oh yes, I found in test fitting the front wheels this weekend that I had to grind off the powder coating from around the center hole because they would become "press-fit" to the hub and not want to come off ! I had to take the whole drum/wheel assembly off and drive the drum off with a 2x4 and hammer.
