wheels?

will a 16 inch wheel clear the axle components and the steering parts? i ask because super swampers are extremly expensive already but they are more expensive for a 16.5. and will a 15inch work at all?

I have 16's on mine, These trucks came stock with 16's. 15's wouldn't clear the caliper.

Fill out your signature so everyone knows what truck you have so it will be easier to help you in the future.

I've ran Super Swampers, don't do it. These trucks love to chew them up! I bet I didn't get more than 10K. I've got 16.5's 35 12.50 BF Muds on my crew cab, they came off of my 93 that I rolled. I can't even tell you how many miles they have on them and still doing good. The 16.5's are getting harder to find now! Once these go I'll be switching out to 17's. Good Luck with the search, they can be found!
