what do ya think?

You dont want a small tire out back with a tall front.If you have a slight rake at the rear that size would level the truck out just about where you want to be.
I hate my offroad backspacing 4.5" on a 16x10 they stick out 1.5" outside of the bed.It leaves a lot of tire rubber and rock chips from the track days.
but did not want to wait 1-2 months for custom wheels.
Just make sure you can clear 16's on your brakes.Dont know if your brakes are bigger than a 1/2 ton?

i already have 4.10's and the short tire makes it launch even harder.
