Default need advice on tire size.
Well i started to just go for looks when i originally bought my rims. These by the way are 15x10. I was going to slap on a set of MT 325's on them but now that i am about ready to install them I am reconsidering my options. I currently have 3.42, ss3600, and a medium range HR cam. Any advice would be welcome. My main reason for doing this is I know that tire size would be way to big for my setup as well as my gears.

Thanks Mike

275/50/15 MT drag radial, 26" tall and will work well with what you have.
