I dont know if I should let this out but I had and idea for the type of setup you have with a 10 lug conversion.

Take a set of 22.5s and machine them to a 22" and put on a set of 38"x22 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I have never seen this done but I think it would look CRAZY. I was going to do it to mine exept it was a bit pricey, those tires are like $500-$600 each. I know they sell 22" for the low rider guys, because they cant fit a big truck tire under the fenders.

I didnt like the tires avalable for a 22.5 so I thought it would be a wild look to run a big mud tire. Let me know what you think, Bodie
This has been done before.

Umm you can see pics of 22 with low profile all over but I don't know where to see some with grapplers but I have seen it in person, also I know where you can see some 24.5.

I think there are/were a couple of pics of some shaved 22.5s and 24.5s running Mud Grapplers on like an H2 or something. I think they were on the american force wheels website; I'm not sure. I think the only 22" Mud Grappler you can get is a 40 thought; at least it was. The 38s are for 18s and you can get a 37 for a 24.

My main deterent from doing a Super Single is the fact that the wheels themselves are VERY VERY boring. When you look at Alcoa's website, you can see that the holes are very small and the wheel is very plain. I would also have the change the front wheel in order to avoid a mismatched set. I think that would detract from the look as much as the super single would add. Hence, my dilemma.

I want to see a dually running six 22" dually wheels and six Mud Grapplers, I know it would be wide but the look would be crazy.
