You might want to give some thought to how much vertical space (reveal) you want to leave (if any) between the tire and the fender lip. A 255/40/17 is only 26" tall and might look smallish. For reference, take a look at ECE's website at both their project '68 and also "this old truck" vehicles. I too have a new 4/6 drop and am trying to decide between F - 255/50/17 with R - 275/50/17 or F - 255/60/17 with R - 275/60/17. The later set are quite tall and fully fill the wheelwell.
