Default Dumb tire question....

Ok guys... I hate friggin talking about tires cuz that is one topic I get screwed up on. I need to replace my stock 275/60R17's on my '05 Kota QC (non lifted). I like the height of them and could see going either up or down a couplesizes and don't really care,but I read on another site that a guy put 275/45R17's from aRam and want to know if you guys thought that would look dumb or not.

And alsoif anybody has a link to a tire size calc that actually "shows" the tire picsside by side and not just the tech chart that would be helpful. (again I suck at reading tires and need to 'see' them)

Thanks guys!

Well this doesn't give pictures but it does tell you things like width, diameter, etc... http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos
Also this will explain what the numbers mean: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoSidewall.dos

The 275/45's will be the same width with a smaller sidewall (smaller overall diameter). Unless you're looking to downsize I wouldn't go with that.
