I have the nitto drag radials. They are 245/50/r16. The truck does look kind of funny with them but I dont really care. They are about 10 pounds lighter a tire than the stock ones and they hooked ok at the track. Of course I went to a shitty track.

By the way this is kind of off topic what do you have done to your truck. I ran 14.6 N/A on stock tires with some bolt ons.

Will those 275/55/r16 fit on a stock rim ? I thought the aluminum rims were 16x7. According to that website you would need a 9 inch rim.
