Default 275/45/20 or 275/40/20... who's gottem'?

I have been seriously thinking of going with some Centerline StingrayIII 20x8 once I get my truck back from the shop. I did a search but didnt get the definative results I was wanting. I do have a 2/4 Hotchkis drop on the truck so I really wanted to keep the tire around 29" like the 285/50/18 I had before. So who has either of these two size tires, what brand and how do you like them and what width wheel do you have them on? Add some pics too if possible.

I have the Stingrays on a 4/6 drop. I am running 275/35 Michellin Pilot Sports on them and I like them. As you probably know, a 275/45 will be closest to stock height. I think a 275/40 would look nice, but it also depends on what tires come in this size, I haven't looked.

I attached two pics to give you an idea of the 275/35s. Its blue too!

That is a clean truck, man! If I didn't live where I do, I would definately have a 4/6 drop and some larger wheels.

My 275-45-20s were a perfect height tire when I had my 2/4 drop. Its what I would recommend for sure for that drop

275/45/20's just look huge to me. I believe hankook and michelin both make 275/40/20 tires. I'd definately choose those over a 275/45 GTII since everybody and their mom has those

I'm currently running the 275/45 hankook's on a 8.5" rim. Nice fit, but smaller would look better IMO. If I were you, try to get around a 9" rim and go with a 275/40 or 285/40.
