28"x10" wheels with a 335/20 will be 33.3" tall...ewww...sorry, just not my taste...

Here's the link to a tire size chart: http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

I've run 12.50/33" rubber on the back. Never wanted to go with the frail look,though. The wheels were 10"

I have 31x10.5 on mine right now with I think an 8" wide rim and there is lots of room with my 4" of drop. Like stated above I figured a 33" tall tire wouldn't be a problem. Not sure on if you go bigger wheels, not too many people on here running big wheels on 3/4 tons.
