free tires!! - 17's

I won a set of eagle gt's at a car show this weekend, any size I want in that brand. I was going to by some 17's in a few months, but I have to use the free tire deal by the end of the month.

Goodyear only makes the 17 " eagle gt's in 255/60/17 and 275/60/17. I was thinking about getting the 255 for the front and the 275 for the rear. The truck is lowered 4 and 6, any help would be appreciated.

are you sure thats not too big for a 4/6" drop? those are 29/30" tires you got there. rear may work but front might be to big? im not sure.

With a 4/6 drop the 275's will rub in the back with 60 profile. Go with a 275/50 and you'll be in there! Same for the front go with 255/50's.
