Before you go and get smaller tiers. What I do is jack up only the side of the frame that you want the tire on. This will cause the opposite side tire to take a lot more weight and bring the side you want to put the tire on down a lot further out of the wheel well. If both tiers are off you will need to get a tire that is easy to put on, on the truck first. I would make sure that you have the front tiers on first so that the front of the truck doesn't fall off the jack stands.
