I run BFG KDWS 255/45/17 Frt 255/50/17 Rr, I'm lowered 1" front and rear,
gives it that hot rod look, they don't bulge to much, handles fine.
Don't have any pics right now, waiting to get out of garage after winter.

I have Kumho ASX 255/50-17's on mine, though I have 9" wide rims. I love these tires

I've got 255/50/17 Fuzion's front and rear with Steeda Ultralites installed. No issues with wear, tires look really great, and bulge looks nice, but is not overwhelming. Handling is even better than the stock tires, but I also installed FRPP front and rear sways, so that definately makes a difference too.

Someone said it once before, and I agree, 255/50/17 should have come on the Bullits, oh well
