Re: Rims & Tires on, Need new tire size opinions! BEWARE: Lotsa Pics!!!

IMO you need a thicker/taller sidewall, the ones u have on the back in the pics would work better up front, then you need the same, or thicker in back.

What did you ever decide on? I'm in the same boat. I have 17x9s and 17x10.5s I need tires. My 8" ralleys with 275/60 are 28" tall. I do not want to go any taller.

I went with a 275/60/17 in back, 30" overall height, and a 255/50/17 in front, somewhere around 28" tall.
