Default which tire should I get??

ive tried running a search but didn't come up with anything. I am getting a new set of tires and I don't know which size to get. I have 17 inch rims and i am getting BF Goodrich G-Force tires in either 275/40 or 255/40 and I am installing a set of slp blistin shocks with strano springs. let me know what you think of getting the 255/40 with the lowering springs and if you have pics of such a thing please post! thank you!

It depends on how wide your wheels are. What wheels are you running? The OEM SS wheels are 17x9 but many aftermarket wheels in 17" are 17x9.5. With those you are best off running 275/40/17.

why would the 275/40/17 be best? i know its a whole inch taller than the 255/40/17 but how would it affect the handling?
