Tire question

[JJSZABO]

I just received these wheels for Christmas and want to know what tires you guys would put on:



17x8

They allow a maximum tire size of 32.5 inches.

Thanks

How tall a tire do you want and how wide?  I used 255/50/17's but wanted a taller/wider tire...

Opps sorry, street

I don't know.  Maybe around 30 inches.  That's why I am asking   What looks good on a stock ride height?

255/60/17 is what tire rack recommends.

Your best bet is to get a tape measure and measure the height of the sidewall you want and measure how wide you want the tire. Then convert it to tire sizes. I would have gotten a 10" wide for the rear.

Remember most tire sizes are in mm for width and percentage for height. Example a 265/55/17 is 265mm wide and 145 mm tall

This is 255/50/17's on Impala wheels

Thanks guys.

Does low profile tires look good on these trucks?

What's up JJszabo!  PERSONALLY, I think the lower profiles look crappy unless the truck has really been slammed. Our style trucks have such large wheel openings that it's hard to fill the opening (and it look decent) unless you run a 20 inch or bigger wheel. But, we all know that those big rollers cost buck $$$$.

I would use 255/60/17 or 275/55/17's...
