Default Does something like 28x10.5x16 exsist?

Im looking for something taller than my 26" ET streets i just sold. I didnt like how they were so short being in combination with the 4.10 gears. So i'm wondering.. is there anything 28 to 30 inches tall that is made for 16" wheels.

I can find 28x10.5x15's all day long.. but wouldnt a 15" wheel not work on my 01 truck with rear disc brakes? I might need to just bite the bullet and get some 15" wheels and grind the calipers.. or are there 15" wheels that will work with our rear disc brakes? Any and all help would be appreciated.. i just havent ever looked into this much besides the past few days and i cant find what i want.

best thing to do is find some stock alloy wheels for cheap and try to find the size tires your looking for. i'm running 26x11.5x16 on stock alloy wheels, pullin 1.73 60' on stock suspension

but look i found this from Hoosier Item number: 18153 Size: 28.0/10.0-16 Found them for $165 each... which is high i know but no one else carries them for cheaper.

I am sure you are looking for slicks, but for another option, Scream is running some M&H drag radials that are 275/55/16s. It 27.9" tall and fits the stock wheels well. Like I said, just another option for ya.

That's the tire I was fixing to suggest. I remember seeing some tires around that size in Jeg's but can't remember.
