    Tire/Drop ?s

    I am looking at getting some new tires soon. I have 245/70/16 tires that are right at 29.5 inches tall.....to tall in my opinion for a lowerd truck. I am wanting to get some 255/55/16 general grabber UHP's they are 27 inches tall. Do you guys think my truck will look goofy with tires that much smaller? Currently running a 2/4 drop with helper bags in the rear

    Nothing stock...I either broke it or replaced it before I broke it!!

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    I think its the slam bags. They were already on the truck when I got it.

    i think a 255/65 or similar size would look good. its .5" shorter but a little wider. do you know how wide your wheels are? probably 8" or 8.5" the tires on my 20's were 29.75" tall and never rubbed i thinks it really a personal prefrence on how short of a tire you'll like on it. with more drop a 27" tire probably wouldnt look bad. just my opinion. gary
