265/60 would work great with a 2/4. There's a lot of guys on here that run 255/55 but they look a little short with a 2/4 IMO.

295/45/18


I really liked how my truck looked with them on 18x9.5 wheels. I am now running a 255/55 up front on 18x8 and 305/45 out back on the 18x9.5s.

I got them thru a group buy here about 3 years ago for somewhere in the neighborhood of $900.

Word, and you can always go lower with them. I run 255/55/18's with a 4/7 drop and they are perfect. I'll eventually be going to 285/50/18s or 295/45/18's when mine wear out.

Unless they have a ton of backspacing, no they won't. That's a 31.5" tall tire which is bigger than stock(around ~30"). Why would you want such a big tire anyways?
