Default Tire size ???'s pic's please

I am getting ready to take the 20's off for the year. I have been looking for a set of tires for my stock 16's. The best looking set i ahve seen so far are 235 65 16's. They are 27 inch's tall vrs my 275 45 20's that are 29 inch's. I have a 3-4 drop. ?? is are 27 inch tires to small for the truck. If anybody has pic's wit that size on there truck can ya post pic's up.

Thanks JOHN

for 16in stock i used run 285/60/16. Looks great and not to tall or wide. Hard to believe with a 285. I had the same drop also.

This is completely off topic(sorry), but mangled03gmc I love your truck!! That is exactly what I wanted my 03 to look like, and now I don't have it anymore....

I have 275/60-16 Toyo Proxes on my truck. They are 29" tall. I like them except for the wet traction, lol. I only have 2" shackles in the rear.

my stocks are 245/70. They're the factory size and they are 29.5 in tall and I put some 255/45 20s on (so u get a picture) and I still have plenty of room with the 20s being 29 in tall. So you're not going to have a problem either way
