Tire Selection

Can someone give me some input on selecting the right size tire for my 1992 GMC 1500 that has been lowered 2/4 with 17 x 8 helo rims. If there are pic available please upload.

Re: Tire Selection

I had this combo on my 91 Silverado SWB and it had a 3/4 drop on it.

265/50/17 Nitto NT450 tires on the rear
255/50/17 Nitto NT450 tires on the front

Fit well and ran quiet

Re: Tire Selection

I replied to your PM, I'm sitting at 5/8 with 20x8.5 Boss 305 with 255/35/20 all the way around. I bought these rims and tires off of a guy who was bagging an obs long bed and had them stored in his garage but never used them. The tires have a little sidewall which I am not a fan of, but work for now.

No rub?
Do you know the offset?
