I suggest be patient and wait on the 15x10's. These trucks look so much better with some meat under the rear.

If your asking for suggestion, I would go with tires that are a bit closer in height, and lower the front just a little more.

Regardless, you got a clean truck...

thanks man , thats what i was thinking. i want to go down another inch in the front. do you think a 275-60 and 255/60 in the front would be a bit better? the front is not as low as i ike , but the tire is only 24.5''s.

i like the 10''s, but my choice for tire sizes are limited, from what i see, the only tire that looks good on the front wheels, with 295/50's for the back are 275/50's. and i cant find anyone that makes a 275/50/15 anymore. do you know of any??

Sounds like a couple of good reasons to move up to a 17.
