Default DOA!!, 275/60/16's are too short

<img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> what the hell was i thinking, these toyo's are just too short, don't some of you 2wd guys run this size(275/60/16).

i got the truck down a little over an inch but it looks like i will need another 1-2" if i want these tires to look normal.

I run 285/60/16's as well...
I have a 2 inch rear drop in the back, and the height looks pretty good. By the end of summer I hope to have some nice Centerline 20's on there though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

20s? blah <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

there is a good diff tho between the 285 & 275 /60s

If you don't have a fair drop and/or some bigger wheels it may look a little funky.

Throw up some pics parish, we'll decide. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I still think it looks good,they are a little short but not much. I would leave it if it was mine.

nah they aren't bad, watchu talkin bout

the gap is the same as the gap you had with the other tires and no drop.....

if its REALLY going to bother you, check out the BFG 275s/65s I was talkin about, they are an inch taller......

Yikes. A 29" tire. Thats a big difference. It doesn't look lowered at all now. It looks like a stock 2wd. You need to pull those Z71 stickers off before you give us 4x4s a bad name! :b

Nah man it looks fine with what you've got. Ok, maybe it needs to be lowered a little. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
