anyone running a 275/40/20 in the back?

ordering my wheels tonight, and i'm seeing no one running a 275 in the back.. everyone seems to go up to a 295.. any reason for that?

plus.. my rear tires dont last the long and 275's are cheaper..

My old crew cab had 275's so the overall diameter would match the front more, do some searching under my name and you'll find some pictures

im running a 275/40/20 drag radial nitto 555r, i got them for free so i put them on. My rear wheels are 11.5" wide thats why they look so stretched.

O'yes sir it looks good to me. Is it a static drop?

I am running a 275/40/20 on the back.....9.5" rim.

Id say people are going up to 295s to get a wider tire for that "full" look. Thats what I did anyway. I have a 295/35/20 but no pics..
