Toyo make a 255/40/20 that has ...what I think is... the perfect amount of side wall. It doesn't look like a rubber band and it doesn't look like a suv tire !!!

I know a 255/35/20, 245/40/20, or a 275/35/20 will work. Like said above, you could probably use a 255/40/20, but I don't know for sure.

I know 255-35 works great on a 5" 7" drop so will will have plenty of clearance with the 4-6 the 245-40 is ruffly .7" taller than the 255-35 which may help fill in the gap alittle bit and give a slightly better ride...

Thanks everyone for your help, ill deffinently keep these in mind when i go to get them, I might have a minor backset though, last night i was driving my friends truck and as i was pullin out of a very very tight space i put a nice dent in the bed of his truck, thank God its just on the bed and not the cab, im hopeing theyll be able to just hammer and dolly everything out and not repaint it, its a nice size dent anybody have a clue on how much it would cost to take out without lookin at it???? DAMN IM SOO PISSED
