Anyone running 17x8 front 17x9.5 rear?

They are Hankooks. And they don't make that front tire anymore. When I get new tires I will have to make a decision on what I want to run. I think a 245 will be no problem. I have a few more years left and then will have to get serious. I was highly irritated when I found out that is not a combo I can run again.

Looks like they don't make any other sizes anymore. Tire Rack makes it easy to find all sizes within a model. Click on the model tire you are looking at, go down to "sizes" to see what is available. Click on "specs" and gives you rollout, OD, width, etc.

Well I was hoping to run 235/60 fronts and 275/55 rears to get a more even look, but no manufacturer makes both...bummer. I can't find any manufacturer with a 275 tire that would also make the front size.

The only tire sizes I can find by the same manufacturer are: 235/60 front and 255/60 rear; made by Hankook. I wonder what the 255 would look like on the 9.5" wide wheel?

It's a little narrow for a rim that wide I think. The 275 is max on a stepside truck (maybe 285) but with your fleetside you could run a wider tire still in the rear. That makes the big-n-little thing even more which I know was not what you were looking for.

IMO, too wide a tire in the front is what takes away from the overall look of these trucks and trying to fill up both wheelwells is a challenge with tires available.

REALLY irritating they quit making the combo that I decided on.

For sure. Well, I'll try a couple more combos before I give up and see if someone makes a 285/235 combo.

Thanks for the input Mike.
