too much sidewall. i have the 285/50 and i personally think its alot of sidewall. iw oudl have rather got 295/40 (too expensive) or some 275/45(didnt want to wit to ship) i know 28.5 centimenters x .50 = 14.25 cm of sidewall and 29.5cmx.50=14.75cm of sidewall and the difference isnt numerically that much but i dunno. i guess its personal preference. plus your on a drop. i think 285/50's would even look too big on a 2/2 drop but thats just me

well maybe someone else will chime in and give you another opinion. i didnt mean to change your mind all together just throwing up my opinion....its all personal preference. maybe you could go to a tire place and look at the difference in person

nah man, don't worry about it. i'm glad you spoke up, because i would not have thought of those things.
of course, another problem, there are no local dealers of Toyo or Nitto. besides, seeing them without being mounted on a rim they will look completely different. thanks for the suggestion though.

what do you guys think about a 285/40/20? i can get the Nitto 420s in that size, but the sidewall will be about 4.48inches compared to stock sidewall of 5.95inches. am i gonna be riding on rubber bands if i go that route?

no, i think that size is about perfect for a drop. its not like the sidewall is straight up and down, pressurized it curves out so i would be willing to bet it owuld only be about 1/2 ro 3/4 in shorter over all

Holty, I would go with a 285/50 if you're looking for the low profile look while still maintaining "some" sidewall. I have been researching this subject alot lately, and have decided to go with a 275/55/20 just due to the fact, I will be staying at stock height, and don't need a "performance" application.
BTW, Why are you doing a 2/2 Drop, instead of 0/2 or 2/4??
