Default Tires - 275/60/17 ??

Has anyone tried these on stock 17" wheels?. My '05 has 17x7.5 chrome steel wheels, so they would be within the recommended width, but I was curious how they might look. I'll probably stick with the stock rims, but I would like the look of a wider tire, as long as it wont rub or throw my steering all wonky.

Thanks.

What width are the Denali wheels that you're running? Also, do you have any pics? Thanks.

No pics, hard drive got wiped out a few weeks back. I think the denali wheels are 7.5" wide.
If you want to see, I'll be at the Houston G2G too.

damn! i was really hoping to see what it looks like on these rims before i order my tires this evening. i noticed today that i have a chunk missing from one of my tires and the guys at discount say it isnt safe to drive on. cant wait to see if the toyo proxies perform as good as everyone brags about. im just afraid its guna look like a baloon on this 17X7.5" rim

i thought i saw a picture of your truck somewere on these forums? is it still there. if so where?
