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!

Re:Largest tire on a daulie

I'm running 315/85R16 on the stock wheels w/ a custom 3&quot; spacer in the rear. You could probably run a 2.5&quot; space in the rear and be okay. The only problem I have is the tires are so wide on the 6&quot; 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&quot; all together. With the 4.10 gears and the 5 spd I can get about 100mph now......no more max at 82. Good luck.
