Well, what tire are you running now? What are your plans to do with truck? Towing? Assuming a 235/75/15 = 28.8" and a 235/55/17 =28.1" start there. Goto a tire store or look on line for brand, load capacity, and other sizes.
I run 245/45/18 front and 295/45/18 rear. 26.6 and 28.6" tall.

Still in the build process it has 15s on it now with 2.5 drop spindles and 2 inch drop springs so im thinking my a arms are to low (scrub line)??? It will be a driver when done and i do want a hitch on the back. Thank for the info!!

What are you running for rear shocks? Maybe a set of 'progressives' would help during tow trips. Looks like fleeBay has some wheels; lmc is no help.

Monroe just for mock up on the rear. Any pictures of 17 inch wheels on our trucks guys?

I am also tossing around the idea of trying a set of the new rallys. Im looking into the 18s though.. Just wanna do staggered and cant find a tire size I like yet. Guess Im picky..

These are 18x8 and 18x9 with 245 45 18 front and 285 45 18 rear. I was going with a 295 45 18 for the rear but found an amazing closeout deal on a pair of Pirelli's 285 45 so I'm going to run them for a while.

Verdel how much is your truck dropped? I like a lot! I love the thoughts of 285s out back. Did you have to modify anything else?

Be careful when buying 17's the tires are much more expensive than 16's or 18's because it is a rair size.

I have 2.5" drop spindles up front with the torsion bars cranked down a little but not sure the exact measurement. I simply adjusted them to the height I wanted. Same thing for the rear air bags. No modification was needed at all. I actually run it a little lower than the height on the pics...hope this helps
