The tires will be 12.5" and the wheels 10" but are you saying thats too close together still? I noticed the mickey thompsons also come in a 8.5" width would you suggest that as somewhat of a happy medium?

also the stockers are 15" would it be silly to move up to a 16" or do people typically stick with 15" rims on these trucks? I wonder what size has more tire options.
