    215/45/17's in front 235/40/17's in back will give you the same tire diameter as the stock 185/75/14's if its the 2wd that's what I have mounted on my 17x8's

    I like your set-up, but I think those would be a lil too low profile for rims that I'm looking at. But that gave me a good idea of how big 17's are on the truck. If anything I would say that I feel even stronger about a 50 series or larger tire. So the question is, "Is a 50 series tire on a 17" rim too large for the D50 without modifying it?". I love large rims, but I am trying to stay away from the "low pro" look. If anything, I'm thinking about trying to raise it [the truck] up an inch or two.
