I'm thinking 275/50/17 tires, I've seen 40s on some rides but I'm not sure if that would be too rough of a ride. Any experience or suggestions?

 

That's a big tire for the front.

 

I'm going to check out the 55s tomorrow,,now I have 235/60/15 on front,,255/60/15 rear.

 

anything other then stock is donk!

 

A 235/60-15 tire and a 235/50-17 tire are within a tenth of an inch of the same outside diameter. The difference, however, is that the 15" tire has 5.5" sidewalls and the 17" tire has 4.5" sidewalls. That WILL make for a ride quality difference.

Same thing for the 255/60-15s and 255/50-17s.

 

You don't even know what donk is.

 

I am running 245/45/18 in the front and the ride is fine, off course the QA1 adjustable shocks helps too.

 

funny ish

 

Says the guy from California. Come to Michigan, land of the free and home of the potholes.

 

You haven't seen some of the roads out here.
Granted there are not as MANY potholes as in the salt belt, but some of them can get pretty horrendous.

I'm running 235/55/17 on Delta 88 ride quality is good
