So I have a 69 3/4 tons and love super wide rear tires. I was wondering if anyone knew how wide of tires I could put on there without having to do any modifications? And what kind of rims I'd put with them cause I don't know a lot about the whole rims and tires thing. Thanks for any input

You might want to do a search as the topic has come up several times. There's some variable, like if you want 15, 17,18 or 20 inch tires.... stock height, higher, lower, air bags.....

20" tires and stock height...maybe a slight 2" drop in the front but that's to be decided yet. so we'll say stock height

they are no fun in the rain.

My running buddy thinks that the Micky Thompson Sportsmans are gods gift to trucks and has a pro street 48 but I've spun out and gone into the last bar ditch I ever want to. Twice is enough.
