Default Anyone running a 275/60/17?

I've been wanting to run something a little wider but as close to the same height as possible and this is the best size I could find. Any suggestions?

Tire selection sucks for stock rims unless you step down to the 60 series sidewall and go w/ the 275/60/17. They are a little short on a stock height truck, but look great w/ a 2/4 like shown above ^^^

Here's mine. This is with 2" rear drop. Looks even better with the 1" front drop I put on.

I am running 285/70/17 from Bridgestone. Nice tires, fill out the wheel wells.

Ok thanks guys. I was thinking about the BFG Long Trail T/A Touring in a 275/60/17. I work at discount tire company so I can get them for 100 bucks a piece plus free install and balancing. Of course I'd be the one putting them on. I have the GMC Yukon and Sierra Z71 6 spoke wheels on mine. So I think they'll complement the wheels nicely.

Damn, I absolutely love the look of your truck. Those NBS escalade wheels look much better than the NNBS escalade wheels I run. Do people ever ask you about the Cadillac center caps?? People always point that out on mine..
