The roads here suck and I need a decent tire size on this thing, so if you have a tire size that's be sweet. Nice work by the way.
Thanks. I'm using a 285/35/22. You could get away with it if you get a 7.25 bs on a 10" rim. Your going to also have to make new hood hinges. But I also narrowed the front end so that would also make a difference. Your going to have issues with the tire sticking out above the bed if you shave the rockers with a 285. You can run 265/35/22 and fix that issue.
