you havent tried hard enough
Im running a 0 offest on both rims, the rears will be changed to 285/60/17as soon as the rear end goes in and the tires disappear...
They'll fit roll the fenders, you'll be alright. What offest are you running?
o and that lights a ****** Auto Zone special..... I kept burning up bulbs in the one that came with the roll pan so I did away with it. Had to take a spray paint a black stripe along the bottom half to keep it from shining outwards to brightly. Come get some now piggies

I would do taller tire with another 1" of drop.

Im like you though, i want my truck to have some rake.
Are you going to stick with the tire size you have up front? what is the diameter of your fronts?
Yeah we'll see how I like the tires when the time comes. I want just a little rake to retain the muscle truck look.
Tires on the rear (like listed above) will be 285/60 17. IIRC they're something like almost 1 1/2" taller, about 1" wider and the fronts will be changed to 235/55 17. That tire is something like 1" narrower and 1/2" taller. I think it'll look sweet. I just dont want the tire on the front to be too small
