I know there are some one here with that combo, it doesn't look bad when it is slammed.

Hey low can you post a pic of your current tire wheel combo? I was thinking of going with the same size combo just wasn't sure how they'd look.

Markie your truck looks great! What brand wheels are those? What size tires are you running on them? How is your traction on a hard take off?

I went with Boss wheels. Made here in the states and great price too. Tires are 235/55 and 275/40. I coulda gone with a lower profile up front but streets suck for the most part so I added a little more sidewall. I'm happy with the result but if I had to do it again I woulda gone 20 all around....and I still might so the fronts might be for sale. Not even 200 miles on them....lol...Let's see

Do you think 295/40/20's would fit in the back? My truck has just about the same drop as yours and I would love that wheel/tire combo. Also if you went 20's in the front what size tire would you use?

From what I was told, 295's work out back. I'm gonna run a 245/40 up front if I go 20's.
