That's what I have along with many others. The only thing I dont like about them is the fact that they tend to catch every crack in the road and steer you towards them.

I was going to say the same thing, 275s will pull you around a good bit.

Yeah... my wheels poke out the front fender... looks kinda tacky since I have 9" all around. Def goin with 245 sumikotos instead of the bfg's because it sounds like I drive an off road truck, even with the windows up.

I don't like how 275's stick out past the fender with most wheels(on the front).

Mine don't stick out past the fenders, they are almost flush (Which I think looks great) The rears are tucked in a little bit more, but they are even enough that I think it looks pretty good.

And wasn't this question already being discussed? (Hint hint)
