try some 45's . thats what i ran on my truck with laying crossmember so just lowered will be good and a lower pro tire will bring ya a little lower so it works out real nice. to bad you don't live closer because i got some brand new ones that i'm not going to use since i got my rims back on.

Dropping from the 65 series to a 45 would be huge.

Your 255/65 is a 29" tire; a 255/60 is a 28" tire and a 255/55 is a 27" tire. Both are probably more in line with the look you are trying to achieve.

you could go a little narrower on the tire too. when i'll need to toss the stock 16x8s back onto my truck i intend to use 235/60-16 all-weather tires

Im goin to runnin 235/60's on my 15's.The 16's are the same width so id get something along those lines mayb a 245/60/16 or 245/55/16

That's what I'm thinking also.
