I currently am running on Nitto 265/50/20, However its almost time to change my tires, and I am thinking of a higher profile to have a more comfortable ride, any recommendations and pictures?

Thanks
 
You can probably do 265/55 and 265/60 (if they make em) without any rubbing issues (pending you're stock height) also like pork said trade for some 18s. They come 265/65? Stock
 
First off you have an 04. 03 and 04's ride quality is a little harsher than the 05+, especially if you have the sport suspension. I would suggest staying with the stock size tires and upgrading to H&R springs. You will have much better ride, looks, and performance.

Or join in on the live coilover group buy and dial it in for a really plush ride.
 
+1 ^^^ the progressive H&R springs will help, but a coilover can be as sport or plush as you desire. Depending on your miles your shocks might be due for replacement anyway at about 60k miles. Might as well address everthing at the same time, that's what I'm doing. I'm at 56K miles on my 45.

The 18's come with 265/60.
 
Do not run 275/55's. I have them and they rub the upper strut as speed increases. Discount Tire actually listed that size as an alternate but it doesn't work. At least with the brand that I'm using. It was probably dangerous. As the tires wore down, it stopped being a problem.

I bought them to see if it'd get rid of the rear hop associated with the Goodyear tires and deal with the monsoon conditions in SW Florida. Eliminates about 90% of the hop but traces are still there.
