254F 275R looks the best imo so far. makes the wheel really stand out...probably least safest as far as curb rash goes though

Good point, i'll be going with 8.5F and 10R.

Thanks everyone for posting your asses This is really going a long way in my decision.

I decided to go to a wheel/tire shop that had tires up, not sure why but the 275 Falkens looked comparible in width to the 285 Toyo Proxies.

As it stands right now, it will cost me 20 per tire to move from 275->285 and i'll have to pay to roll the fenders. I think the 20 per tire is a little inflated though, unless im wrong.

Im wondering if its worth it to move up another 10mm.

Which falkens did you look at? The FK or ST series? i used to run the ST's in front and those tires looked REALLY stretched. every shop i took my car to told me to swap out the tires. they look one size smaller than they really are. point is, you wont really know how the tire is until its mounted on the rim. they could stretch differently.

P.S. glad you guys like my new two-tone jk. never seen anyone prop a car with a bra before
