Help with wheel size

[embr03]

Hey guys I'm looking at getting the same stance for my truck shown in the images below. What would you guys say is the wheel size, 15's or 17's?
Thanks for the help.

I would say 15's. Here is my truck with 17's. 17x8 front with 4.5" bs, 17x9" rear with 5" bs. 235 55 17 in front and 275 55 17 rear. 27 and 29" high respectively. 4 1/2"-7" drop using a DJM leaf flip in rear.

I think the taller tires it what really helps nail the stance and wouldn't even consider 15's at this point.

That helps. Thanks Mike!

Don't get hung up on the difference in rim size.
His rear 17's are the same height as a 275 60 15.
Depends on the tire width and aspect ratio.
Also depends on what look you're after and how you want it to ride.
Shorter sidewall tires can perform or ride different.

So which would give a better ride you'd say? P275/60R15 or P275/55R17 pretty much which would you recommend. Both stances are real nice.

That would be a toss up.
You might feel no difference.
Depends on the type of roads you drive on.
The one factor to consider right now is availability. The 17's will likely still be available after you wear out your first set. Most of the 15's are being fazed out and soon won't be available except from custom tire guys like Coker. Limited quantities cost more per tire to build so cost more to buy.

275 60 15 is 28" tall and the 275 55 17 is 29" tall, so there is a difference. The fronts are 27" but will have better handling and less sidewall roll than a 27" tall 15" rim tire would.

And there are WAY more 17" tire sizes anymore. Wheel choice is probably the most personal thing you can do to the truck, so go with what you like the best. For me that was 17" since I think the 15" looks too small and 20's are just too much for me.
