I don't know.... to me they look too small.
It kinda makes it look like an old truck with sagging springs as opposed to a slammed truck with a drop kit.
Don't get me wrong, it's a nice clean truck but it doesn't look "customized" to me.
Just my $.02

I agree with stosh, I would have liked to seen a tires with an extra inch or two to help fill out those big wheel wells, but overall a very sharp looking truck, not to mention the price of those tires beats my $100 a piece I paid for mine.

I think it looks cool as is. However, I would have probably put the same size tires in the front. It looks like the front wheels are not as wide is the rears is that the case? If so I would have put 255 60 in the front and 275 60 in the rear. That is provided they didn't rub. I like it though. I think the wheels look fine. At least they are era or style correct. I'm not a big fan of when people put the latest style wheels on the older trucks. This is especially true if they are bigger than 17 inch wheels. It looks like crap when they do that. That is an interesting color. I kinda like it. Is it factory?
