I was told that 255 and 295 would be the best?
also, what height? 35? 40? 45??
keep in mind, that I'll probably be getting H&R supersport springs and MM LCA's for the rear

the right setup is 265 35 and 296 35 but a 305 would look real nice on the back and a 255 35 maybe 40 would be ok for the front. I have a 265-35 on the front fit perfect and have a 285-35 on the back but it is to skinny looks retared going to get a 305-35 for the rear.

ok, I think I'm gonna get 265/35/18 for the fronts and I'm having a hard time deciding between:
295/35
305/35
315/30
I would greatly appreciate someone's help! I'm gonna put H&R SS on it for the drop, and I know that I can flip my quad shock around for clearance, if needed.

315/30's, Jesse. I doubt you'll have rubbing issues in the rear. Even with the H&R drop.

I'm thinkin I'm gonna go with a 295/35 in the rear, mainly due to cost.. I dont want to pay $350 a tire, or have to pay less for a crappier tire, ya know?
what brands are you running BlowN67?
