What tires and wheels?

I am building a sled pulling truck and was wondering what everybody is running. I was thinking about running 33 inch interco truxus tires, too big? I was thinking of running 16 by 10 wheels? Or should i go 8 inch wide? Getting ready to buy and want to make sure i buy the right ones. Thanks guys.

ive been to alot of pulls and seen guys run everything wide wheels and narrow wheels. most guys run all terrain tires and some guy even run boggers. the truxus tires are really soft is what a friend said. some guys run them pulling.

The truxus's are a good pulling tire, I would take the leveling kit out though, to keep the front end lower. With the 8" wide wheels you will probally have less clearance issues, though the 10" wheels would be better IMO.

Ok, thanks guys. I will be hanging weight on the front so i dont think i will have to worry about the front end being to high, why do you think i would have cleasrence issues with 10" wheels?
