From what i've heard you can go with a 15" rim with some carefull grinding on the calipers, but I've never done it

and then there's...
TxSquezze4.8 truck ---- MT ET Street Radial 325/50/15's

I think this is Breeze's truck, it's a M&H Cheater slick 30x14x16, lotta dish on the rims

Bought back from the dead...

Has anyone tried this yet??

There a few L's and TBSS that run this tire on a 10" rim.

Anything wider than a 315/325 on a 10" wheel is going to look funny and not grip properly due to the tire not laying flat. I have 315 on a 10" rim and would NEVER go any wider.
