Maybe try a 235-45 but they get a little harder to find.Do you have a certain brand tire you want to use? Give me a few names and I will get you some answers on tires. Ill look into the front wheels size also.
the tire brand is not important to me, I am going with Boyd Smoothie II rims, they are custom order and the minimum backspace is 4.5"
