might look a little small. Heres 255/50/17's on mine with a 3/5 drop. The 40 series will probably be close to an inch shorter. These are 27" tall.

Unless your pretty low those 255/40's might be kind of short for the big wheelwells these trucks have IMO. . . but you know what they say about opinions.

YEA, I KINDA' THOUGHT THEY MIGHT BE TOO LOW. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SELL THEM AND BUY A SET FOR MY RALLY`S.

The tires I have are Bridgestone Potenza RE730's. I have a 350 horseish 350 with posi and they hook up sweet. Couldn't ask for better traction.
