So, I'm thinking of just picking up four 235/60-16 tires - what do you guys think?
My initial plan is to just get some tires for it with the stock suspension. If I decide to do the drop, it will be some time in the future.

I'm thinking the 235/60-16s will look too small, they are 3" less in diameter than the stock tires.

I guess I could look for some used tires, for the mean-time, just to get it rolling and see how she drives. Maybe the 70 or 75 series tires would suffice.

I'm just worried about getting a 60 series tire and it looking weird with the gap between the fender and tire. Might look goofy. What do you guys think?
