I'd go with a little more tire. I'd also get those stake pockets filled.

Go with the original plan and slam that bad boy! It's looking good though.

Thanks guys. Im looking at tires for the rear. The tires up front are brand new, they are 275/35/20s. The rears are 255/35/22s. What rear tire size do you guys recommend? 275/35/22? I still think im going to take it down another two inches in front and 3 or 4 more in the rear to elimnate the rake. Im lowered 3/4 right now. That would put me at 5/8. I wouldnt go any lower after that. Prob be very content too.

What is the rear wheel width? IMO, to make it look right with the staggered wheel size, you need at least the same side wall height on the back as the front. That will put the rear 2" taller than the front thus likely tucking the rear tire. If the wheels are same width and offset, go with the 275/35/22 (didn't see this tire size on tirerack). I think it would look better if the rear were a bit wider than the front. So, if you have an 11" rear wheel, a 305/30/22 would fit the bill nicely. If it is only a 10" wheel, check on a 285/35/22.
