the tire dealer wants me to put 275 60 17s on it.. thats a little much sidewall for a 3/4 imo, a 275 50 17 would prolly look nice, but i dont want to spend just a ton on tires, im leaving for UTI in a month and need to save a little..

I'm running 275/60/17 Toyos and like them alot. I wouldn't go any smaller than 275/55/17 IMO.

275/60 17 would be perfect with a 2/4 drop. You'll still have some fenderwell gap with them but it'll look good. Here's a pic of TxSilverado's truck when he had 17's and that size on a 3/4 drop:
