Try a 255/45 or a 275/40, Nitto makes the 555s in those sizes. Both sizes will fit on 8.5" wide wheels and are around 26.5" to 27" tall, which will work well with a 4/6 drop.

yep, I test-fitted 285/60/18s yesterday... YEAH RIGHT!

Those bitches woulda rubbed all day long. So we ordered up a set of 255/55/18s Toyo Proxes S/T. I think I'm gonna like this tire, but dayum, NOT CHEAP

I've thought about the 285/60's in the rear, but didn't want to run into any ABS issues. There is no way they will fit in front.
