Tire size for 17" OEM wheel

[teejayone]

Just picked up some 17" GMC sierra wheels for $150 for the set. Now I need tires.

1995 2-Door Yukon 4x4 Stock height.

I dont mind cranking a little (no more than 50% crank). Rear leave stock or maybe a 1" or 2" block in rear.

Which one ?
285/70/17
285/65/17
275/70/17
265/70/17
275/65/17

Thanks

Obviously looking to go bigger since I mentioned cranking torsion bars and/or block.

Any body have some pics ???????

285/70 for sure. I cranked mine all the way and fit 295/70's with a little trimming. Also put 1 inch blocks in the back. if you're only cranking 50% you shouldn't need blocks. Anything smaller then 285/70 and you will be disappointed in my opinion. If you are still looking for tires and want to see a pic of mine a will post it if you reply.
Use this Tire Size Calculator if you want some more tire suggestions near that size. Just type in any of those sizes and it will populate a list.

well regardless your gearing will be off with any of those sizes.
