So I'm thinking about getting the EE lowering kit in the near future, anyone have any idea what the biggest tires I can fit on the ST with it lowered? I'd love to end up with the stuffed in look you get with some big tires on a lowered vehicle.
 
I had Michelin 265/70R16 LTX tires on mine. Slight (very slight) rubbing on tight turns. Mine was lowered a full 2 inches front/rear

I have 265/70/17. Lots of rubbing: turns, bumps, if I slow down too fast, etc, but I love the look.

I've got 285/60R17s on mine. I'm lowered 3 inches in the rear and my torsion bolts are gone like Jeff. They're not as big a circumfrance as Jeffs, but they are wider. They rub at hard turns, and the front tires stick out slightly. I'm thinking about changing to 275/60R17s on my next change to narrow them down a little bit, and cut down a little on the side profile. I also had to cut out a little bit of the inner wheelhouse on the rear because my bed is misaligned and they rubbed in the back.

305/40/22 2" drop all the way around. Some rubbing in tight turns. Had to trim some plastic of the inner well. But damn they look good!!
