Widest wheel with stock suspension? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What is the widest wheel (with what offset) you can run and still keep it tucked with stock suspension? Just from looking I think with the right offset a 12" wide wheel would be ok. I have 8" rallys right now with 275/60's and they appear to be about 4 1/2" from the u bolts on the leaf spring pack. I was just wondering about doing this for a mini pro street look without going all out on new suspension pieces at this time. Once I get the 64 Chevy going next year no telling what might be in store for the Jimmy.

Any ideas, comments, or criticism is welcome.
