Fatboy Tires on the Rear End

Postby Begle1 » Sun Feb 25, 2007 12:53 am

How large of tires could one fit underneath the truck bed before you started to rub fenders? Width wise, not diameter wise. The pizza cutters from the factory look stupid, and with lot's o' torque they probably don't bite very well...

Anybody run wider-than-stock tires?

My buddy had a 1/2 ton ext-cab Ferd with dually flares that he tried to put duals on. After the adapter plate fell off on the way home he got smart. :shock: He put some wiiiide wheels on it, he had 18 or 20 inch tires under it.
You can probably get some wide wheels, but are the wide tires load rated?

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

So how much backspacing can we run?

I am hoping these can be made for our first gen trucks.
