I have some 235/55r17's on mine. dan from pasadena has the same size on his truck. here is a link to his build. check page 108 for a pic with that size tire to see if you like it. those tires are 27.2" tall. I may end up with some 235/60r17's just for the extra height. it will affect the highway cruising rpm, and fuel mileage, a bit

here is a link to a tire size chart with a visual comparison tab and several other tabs. maybe come in handy for you.

His truck looks great! I think I want to find some FJ cruiser 17" steelies to roll around on for a while, but they are tough to find
Ill keep that tire profile in mind once I track a set down
