B.F. Goodrich 255/50-17 Z rated. Thay are within a half of an inch of the stock tire diameter. I am very happy with them.

Anyone else with pics? I'm leaning more towards the 50 series to fill up the wheel wells but I think the lower profile of the 45 series makes the wheels look a bit larger. :crazy:

255/45R17 Kumho Ecsta 712's. As for ride height, the heights at the centre of the wheel wells are:
26 1/2" front
27 1/2" rear
I don't know how 'lowered' this is from stock but the wheels & tires look great.

I have 255/45/17's all the way around, but will replace the rears with 255/50/17 (almost bald already :rolleyes: ) and keep the fronts 255/45/17. I think this will work out great for me :) .
