Default Tire size question for you guys.

Right now I'm running 285-50-20. The tires I want to buy only come in 275-55-20 or 275-45-20. Which tire would be the closest to my current tire size? Also, I'm going to be lowering my truck 2 inches if that makes a difference.

What would you guys run?

Thanks!

275-55 is a pretty tall tire for a 2" drop in the front. Of those two choices the 275/45 should not have rubbing issues. What tire are you looking at?
