Hey guys, I'm getting a set of 17x8 rims for the truck. What are the best size tires for these for street driving? Keep in mind that I don't tow anything, just haul ***, so load rating is not a big concern. 265? 275? 60's? 70's? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

 

I personally like a 275/60/17. I had some on my old wheels. I see you have a 1500 HD though. Are you gonna drop the back 2"? What is the stock size? 255/70/16? If so, the 275/60/17 will be the same hieght at about 1" wider. But you can go with a 285/60/17 and that will drop the hieght about .5" if that much.

The stock ones are a whimpy 245/75/16 so a 275/60/17 will be very close to stock diameter. I am not planning on dropping it anytime soon but I am keeping my eyes open for someone to put out a quality kit. I just don't want any rubbing or clearance issues with the new wheels and tires.
I also need to consider changing the G80 out since it seems to be very inconsistant as to when it locks up. Thanks for the reply.

L82GoFast... If you do decide to get rid of the G80 locker I will take it! Are you going to keep the factory gears too?
thanks,
