Default 275/60/17's with 2" drop shackle

Has anyone ran this combo on the factory wheels? I did a search and didn't find any info on it. The factory tire is about 30" tall and the 275/60 is also right at 30" tall but a decent amount wider. Who's got it and do ya have pics?

Thanks,

Chris

Yup, there are a ton of folks running that tire and drop combo. Its a great fit and look. I was running this setup on my crewcab, although on my new truck, I am running the 2" shackles on 275-55-17's.

No rubbing issues or anything problems? I'm looking at getting pretty much the same set-up as you have. Except go with Cooper Cobra's.

no rubbing at all. do some searching on toyo proxies. they are cheap, get great milage and hook damn good. only bad part imo is wet traction but thats probably mostly due to my heavy foot.
