Will this tire fit on a stock aluminum wheel??? or will I have to run the 11.5 wides??? I need a set of these things badly...

I think I have enough converter and gear (and bottle) to get it out of the hole on some 28" tires.... I dont want to lose anything on the top end.

you'll need a 11.5" wide. i'm pretty sure the 12.5" is too wide.
their site for the 11.5" tire, calls for a 10" wide rim and our stock alloys are 7" wide.
it was a bitch for me when i mounted my 26x11.5's at the hobby shop.

I rock a set of stock Tahoe wheels and 255/65-16 General UHP's all the time these days since my Torque thrusts got broken and they are discontinued... I guess I'll either have to get some cheap rims for those tires or get the narrower tire...


-any issues with the 12.5 wides rubbing?? I'm dropped 5" in the back.

I'm dropped 5" in the back and mine don't rub, but I'm running the 11.5's I run them on some cheap american racing 16"X8" wheels

you think you have another inch of room back there to play with?? I want as much tire under the *** of this thing as I can get... I'll grab up a set of cheap wheels if need be I suppose.

I think it depends on backspacing of the wheel. The wheels I've got room for another inch, but seeing as I would need a wider wheel I'm not sure if the would fit. I'll post pics when I get home since I still got the tires on the truck from racing last night.
