The front tires are mock-ups, and after looking at the stance, I might go up one size to a 225/60-15 tire. I also bolted on the funky ET oval center caps. I'm really happy with the way it looks!
I love the look, truck looks awesome, but, yes you could use a little more rubber profile on the front. You say you may go to a 225/60/15, what is on there now? I have 225/60/15 on the front of mine, and plan to go to at least a 235/60, maybe even a 245/60. I am lowering the front either 2.5" or 3.5" as well. I feel that the tire profile on the front is too short compared to the rear, rear tires are 295/50/15 (kinda phatt)
