I only have lowering shackles, i would look up ramdom heros threads his tires are perfect he is a little lower i would look into a 29" tire you can compare sizes on this sitehttp://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp look for a tire between 255 to 275 im looking at a 275/55 when i get my 2/4

 

just remembered you have 17"s i would think about 255/60/17 same heigth as random hero with a little more sidewall

 

don't go with 275/60's, i can tell you that right now...i've got em and my truck might be able to work with a 3/6 until these tires hit the 30K mile mark and are replaced with 275/45's or 275/50's.

 

I run 275/50/17 Nittos and had no problems on 4.5-7 drop. There's lots of people running these tires down here now and they look real nice. Just lowered my truck some more last night to about 5.5 or 6" in front and tires are flushed with fender (no more gap)....and no problems with rubbing. Tire's a 27.8" tall (28") and truck measures 27" from floor to fender lip.

 

255/60/17 is what I am thinking.......(I can get this size cheap from a local tire wholesaler)? Cuerva said 275/50/17 but it sounds like you had a gap from fender to wheel...

there's a couple pics of 275/60's...i'm not sure what stock wheel BS is, but i've got 5.5" and they sit really close to the outer edge of the fenders might wanna do a 50/55 i know i am next spring when these are shot.

In the pics truck has a 2/4 on it...

 

old thread but this is what i was gonna ask anyway, 265/70/17s on a 2/4. will it rub? this thread is about a 4/6, im just gonna do a 2/4. from what ive read everybody does a 30" tire on 4/6drops, so in theory i should be 2" higer with 1.5" taller tire, will i clear for no rub? stock esky wheels are 31mm backspace i believe. opinions..?

 

pretty much already decided they will rub after looking at pics and sizes,gonna get some 275/60/17s =30" so thanks for all the input..

 

I've got 275/60-17s on 05 Tahoe wheels with a 3/5 drop with PLENTY of room... I could go down sevral more inches before anything starts to hit I believe.

 

well thanks for the input
