The tires are actually super small. Goofy sized too if you ask me.
the rears are 255/30/22s and the fronts are 275/35/20s. The tires are the same size hieght and width the 22 rear needs a wider tire thats for sure. I suppost they wanted to keep the same heights. They measure. 27.5 tall all around. So i guess its not *** tall as they look.

I know right. Well after seeing the tire size of the new wheels any whatnot. Im going to bolt them on and put the truck back on thre ground and take another look at it. I was going to go 5/8 ish but im not sure at this point until its back on the ground with the new wheel and tire setup. If anything the back will come down 1/2" or 2" just to get rid of the rake it has now. That would be a 3/6 the caltracs jack the back up about 1/2" inch to 1"inch when they are preloaded. Still do a drop leaf in the rear and see how it sits probably. Not to sure, its kinda up in the until i get it back on the gound.
