Default tire options for 17's on a 4/6

I have 245/70/17 on my stock tires and am gonna go ahead and get a new set of tires this weekend. Looking for something a little wider that won't rub with my 4/6 on their. What will fit comfortably?

im pretty sure not but maybe a 275/55 would work?

a 275/50 is very close to a 275/35/R20, which is what 02bluestepside has on his 4/6'd truck

gives height, width, and sidewall height

like i said i know for sure that a 275/35/R20 will work on a 4/6 and i know a 255/45R20 will work so you might could work off of those

ive got 275/60/17`s with a 3/5 drop. they rub just a bit up front at full lock in either direction.and the passenger side front grabs the fender on some bumps. im not running stock rims though.

There is no way that a 275/60 should rub!! Buddy of mine runs that exact setup on a 5/8 drop with no issues. I woud go with a 275/55 or 50 series. If you have a 4/6 drop the 275/50 would more sporty then a 60 series. The 60 is to tall(i think).
