Can someone post a picture of a tire setup?

[wa4kc]

I am thinking about buying 275/70/16 tires for my stock 99' Eddie Bauer 4wd. I did a search and found a few links about the tires and see that they should fit ok but there were no pictures. If someone has a stock height Explorer with the 275/70 size tire can you post a picture of your truck? I would like to see what they look like so that I can decide if I want those or if I want to stay with the 255/70/16 size. Either way I will get the Dueler AT Evio tires.
TIA--Phillip

If you don't mind digging up the photo I would like to see it. I am just trying to get an idea of what it will look like.

WOW, your truck looks great in those pictures. I hope I get a chance to clean mine soon. Right now it is just too cold. Thanks for the pictures. I think I will go with the stock size since I don't plan to do any work to my truck for a while or maybe ever. My focus right now is on a bigger house and I just wanted to see if I could go a little bigger since I was buying tires anyway. Thanks again.

On second thought, I like how yours looked. I think I will go a little bigger.

go bigger!! when we bought the 2nd set of tires for my x a few years ago, i was too young to care, so we got stock size. blah! getting 31s any day now

Bigger is better or at least that's what all the chicks tell me.

good idea those rims and tires are long gone from my truck, but you can definitely go a lil bigger and not have rubbing issues without any lift, and the tires are only a couple of bucks more expensive. i say go for it.
