Re: largest wheels\tires
You can put 18.5" wide M/T under the rear with no mods needed. No rubbing issues at all, it's tight but it works and looks good.

Re: largest wheels\tires
Any pics? The widest I've seen has been 10's and they stick out the side about 1/2"

Re: largest wheels\tires
Has the stock rallye wheels that have been spaced to give the offset needed. If you'd like me to get better pictures, I can within the next couple of weeks, cause we have the rear end torn out of the truck. But yeah it gets to with 1/2in of the springs. M/T 29x18.5

Re: largest wheels\tires
Can you post the backspacing when you get a chance? Would like to see more pics of the truck as well. Looks like a nice one!

they look normal from the side since all the extra wheel/rim is on the inside. i hope to have my front rims along with my trim rings/center caps soon.
