275-50-17 tires on stock 03 and up 5 spoke lt wheels
i have a 2000 ecsb with 2 inch shackles. would these tires look to small or be to big? i have the wheels and they are about to be powdercoated like no other 
. i will eventually drop the truck but in the mean time i want it to look decent.

Cuerva's truck is lowered alot though. That tire is WAY to small for just 2" shackles... thats only a 27.8" tall tire and the stockers for a 2wd are 30" tall
This is a 255/60/17 with a 2/4 drop (29" tire). IMO they were about 1/2" to short
This is a 255/70/16 with just 2" lowering shackles (30" tire). still 1/2" to short imo

If it helps I will be running 17s with just a 2" shackle drop also on my Ext cab. I on the other hand will most likely be running a 265/65/17, I would love to run a 275 but cant seem to find the right height I want in that width. Ill post pics when its all finished

Exactly! Imo id run a 30.5" tall tire on these trucks all day with stock suspension... even with 2" lowering shackles too, you tire will never fill the wheel well if you go with anything less and dont drop it (I realize you said youd eventually be dropping it... just dont want to see you runnin around on a 28" tall tire for however long it takes to drop it)
