size matters

I am in the final stages of my 56 stepside. I have a fatman mustang ll with dropped spindles and a TCI rear leaf kit. I am looking at tires and rims, does anybody have this combo and what are you using on the front? I'm hoping for 235/55/17 on a 8" rim Thoughts?

Not apples to apples because I used a Firebird clip w/ narrowed control arms, but since there's no other food for thought, I used a 215x60x17 on a 7" wheel with neutral offset. At my ride ht,, it is the tallest, widest combo I could but under the truck and still have a turning radius of less than 40 acres. You can look at the stance of mine and maybe make some judgment calls.

Thanks,your truck looks great! What's on the rear? Another question,How much of a hood rake do you have?

31x16.5x17 Hoosiers on 14" Welds w/4" backspace. Started out at 2" but by the time the cuts were tuned up, it's more like 2 1/4" I think. That's more than most guys do, but I like it.
