i have a hotchkis tvs drop on mine and right now i am running some good a** tires. i have 275/60/r17 toyo proxes on my stock 17s. they stick great, look good and i paid $450 with shipping for all four, brand new. the website i got them from is edgeracing.com. they are a little bit taller than stock by maybe 1/2" and are 11" wide. much wider than the stock crap goodyear eagle rsa's. i have all 4 the same size, and have no problem rubbing in the front or anything. i highly suggest these tires. the link to the tires is http://edgeracing.com/tire/2367/

Not sure how you aren't rubbing them because I rubbed bad on my '99 running 275/55s and even had slight rub with 275/50's with just the normal Hotchkis drop. Not only on the fender flare, but also on the frame at full lock. Didn't know I was rubbing the frame till the first time I rotated the tires and saw the rub mark on the drivers side frame rail.

well the front springs on the r/ts only drop it about an inch in the front, and i dont know how i am not rubbing, just lucky i guess.

That site lists the tire at 30" tall... Aren't the RSAs about 27?

A few guys running the federal ss595 tires and thy seem to like them. They have a very busy sidewall design if that's something you might care about. And have a low tread wear rating meaning they probably won't last long.

And the stock RSA's are 28" tall tires. Yes the 275/60 tires are 30" tall which actually throws the speedo and odometer off quite a bit. You will be driving faster than your speedometer indicates, and will rack up less miles on the odo than you actually drive. So gas mileage calculations will be off as well.
