I put 255's on my '97 chevy...I believe that it had the same width rims as the NBS, just 15" diam. Either way, it looked waaaaay better.

My truck came from the factory with 255/70-16 tires. Good diameter and width for a stock 1/2 ton truck. When these tires wear out, I'm replacing them with a set of 275/60-16 Toyo Proxes S/T tires. You can check them out at:

I run 255 / 55 / 16 for the track. They look horrible on the SS but are alot lighter and shorter (29.1") than the stockers. The width is fine looking though.

I run 265/60/16 BFG Radial T/A's and looks good. I have them mounted on 16'' Mickey Thompson Classic II's. 28.5'' tall.
