Default new tires!

just bought my new tires, Falken Ziex S/TZ-01 P285/60R-17, from 255/70r-17's, its going to stick out hardcore...i ordered em today, should be in on wensday next week and on the truck by thursday. not sure if ill need new fender flares as they are .3 inches shorter and 1.18 inches wider...for that "performance look"
