guys do it to run 16's

So a 16'5 would be easier. Its just hard to find tires anymore for that size.

yah my buddy runs 16.5 on his old chevy, military 44s and a set of military 38.5s.. both are stiff as hell and the worst ride, I wouldnt put them on a pretty truck like these with the fancy coilover shocks for a car like ride..
