Default Tire help on lowered ram

I have to buy a new set of tires sometime this week. I have a set of hankook ventus ST 275/55 on my stock 20s. I have right at 50k on them. So i may go back with the same tire but a few people have said i should stay the same width but go shorter so it'll look better since my truck is lowered. I don't wont rubber bands but i want something that will look good on it. I was told 275/45's will look good. I just used a tire size app on my phone. It says compared to what i have now the 275/45 side wall height will be 1.1 inches shorter, so 2.2 inches overall.

What do you guys think? here is a pic of what the tires look like now.

heck no, leave em the same size! It'll look really goofy if you go skinnier cause it'll look tiny in those wheel wells. In my opinion, it looks really clean and aggressive with that set up.

I agree. Same size! Your truck looks really sharp!

SAME SIZE the only time i would suggest a smaller sidewall height is if you get bigger rims... i really like your setup it looks perfect in my eyes

Definitely stay with the size you have now. Don't listen to other people unless they're paying for it! Except us because we're here to help

Go up on rim size to 22's or 24's and bagg the suspension if you want to go down on tire size. IMO Otherwise keep it the same size.
