Truly some GREAT INFO THANKS GLENN!!
I have been using the tires.com website as a reference for what is
made/available. Back in 93 I bought my truck tires form one of thier local
stores, guy was nice enough hooked me up with some taller wider wheels for
my pick-up. He was able to help me select a tire that would fit under the
wells and on my stock wheels without any mods. Maybe I will try a local
store and have better luck..
The next big thing is were do you get spacers and maybe longer studs???
