    Bummer. Guess I'll have to stick to the mastercraft 265/75-15 I've got. They are almost 31" tall so close enough. I'm subscribed so I'll be watching this build. Thanks for posting.

    You have some really nice builds. I already have 15x8 wheels but I will keep it in mind for future builds.

    Don, I never thought a 55 profile would work on big n' littles. Too modern of a profile. However, with the larger 17" rim, the ratio of sidewall to rim diameter matches that of the front wheels very nicely. Well done.

    What are the fronts, BTW?
