(shopped) I would have love to run that drop, but up here roads are not letting it happen.. Tire is ruffly 31''s So I had to opt out for 18's an 29'' tires

What are your wheels now 22's? They should look good. Check out hankook tires.. Prob the best tire I have bought that was not insane on price, that performed and lasted a long time..

I would run a 275/40r20 in case you want to go lower. 275/45r20s will be tight. 255/45r20 is a good choice as well depending on the offset of those wheels.

yep mine are 22's, i was going to look for a set of centerlines, but if these are in good condition im going to get them.

might look for a good used set of tires, until i can afford some "quality" ones.

I haven't had problems with my falken ziex stz04's other than not being able to put the power down. Good in the rain, good life, and for a bolt on truck they should hook fine.

The hankooks were 140 a tire when i bought them not sure if they are the same now.. The 75-45's have a nice balanced look to them, a half *** side wall.. A 40 would be a pretty small side wall, the 55-45's would prob be ok, but a little narrower, shorter then the 75's
