    I also run the 255/75/17 on a 2" lift. Looks perfect to me.

    Hello guys I decided finally to go with those tires but I have 2 questions. Witch wheels are you using and witch offset? I was thinking on 17x8 offset 0, would it work with no rubbing and no trimming? (I get a 3'' lift). Second question : I live in arctic on the north of 56 parallel and we are driving most of the time on earth roads with rocks.... Can I still take 6 ply tire or its better 10 ply in this case? I dont do at all big off-roading... thx

    Bringing this one back from the dead! Im back and fourth. My eyes say 275s, but my brain says 255s. Gas prices are expected to jump up quite a bit in the near future so even considering new tires is hurting my heart. Im Running Eibach 2.0 Lift, so around 2-2.5 inch lift. Any photos, and Cooper seems to be the choice, looking at the 4S for weight savings.
