Best tire sizes for 17" rims on 56?

Guys

If anyone is running 17" rims on a 55-57 please post some pics along with tire sizes. Just bought 17x7 and 17x8 torque thrust twos but want to fill arches at rear. Let me know your thoughts. Had 255 45 17s but too small.

Wow, I just looked at mine to give you an answer, but I have 235/45/17. Guess that's no help.

I am also looking into 17 or 18 inch wheels & 31 inch tires. My truck has stock suspension & is sitting at the stock height, so l am thinking of a 75 series tire verses a low profile tire. Also, plan on having the same size wheels & tires on all four corners. What's look are you going for?

I'm running 235 55 17 all around and wish I went bigger on the back, the front seems fine. I have a mustangll with dropped spindles in front and TCI rear leaf and 2'blocks in the rear

Try this size compare site, plug in what you have now on the left and use the right side, to up size to a larger diameter that will fill the wheel well.
