here is a pic of my truck running 275/60/15's for the rear, which measure to 27.7 inches tall i think . I did a photoshop and it looked really good with a little more meat in the back. What would you guys thing of a 285/60/15 which is 30.7 in. tall.

I'm running 295/50/15 out back.

I you're considering this on a 10" wheel

295/50/15's are actually shorter than both 275/60 and 285/60, however they are wider.

I think You need the taller tire,or drop the rear a little to fill the wheel well.The taller tire will give you the big and small look.You allready have the cool rake.
