Question fatter tires,handling problems

i'm having trouble with my truck's handling.it is squirelly,and wanders all over the road. i completely rebuilt the front end,new ball joints,shafts,tierod ends,coils,shocks,idler,pitman,rebuilt steering box(quick ratio).ect and had it all aligned up .i'm wondering if it could be my tire/wheels i installed (15x8 eagle alloys on 245/70r15 tires) or do i need to add a steering stablizer and or a swaybar to cure this?anybody have the same problem ?
