^holy shit

I would stick with the 245/45 in the front and do a 275/40 in the rear.

Either BFG KDW or Nitto NT555. I have the Nittos and they are great.

you would need to tub your car.. (means cutting into the truck) to even think about running a tire that wide man. and nitto doesn't make a drag radial that big.
