That would be cool but I heard of axle's snapping so I avoided it I already tried to go that route! I tested them last night anyways the 245/70/16 are to wide not that they touch the hang out to much and hit my fender skirts not good when you want to tuck the tire on a lowrider!

Re:Largest tire on a daulie
If you look into it, you can run a set of 22.5's I can send you a link if you're interested. It's not a teribly popular swap due to either having to lift the truck, or do minor surgery to your whee wells. I'm going to get a set of polished aluminum alcoa 22.5s and 245/75/22.5 radial recapps. All in all, I will be out about $4K, but you can't beat the look. You will of coruse have to gear down to 4.10s if you're not already there. ;D

Actully the 245's will hit the outsides of the finders when the truck is all the way compressed in the rear no good for me!

I'm running 315/85R16 on the stock wheels w/ a custom 3" spacer in the rear. You could probably run a 2.5" space in the rear and be okay. The only problem I have is the tires are so wide on the 6" wide wheels the centers are wearing about twice as fast as the outer sections of the tread. The truck is also lifted a combination of 7" all together. With the 4.10 gears and the 5 spd I can get about 100mph now......no more max at 82. Good luck.
