Check out this Dakota, I can't even imagine on how bad the tires must rub!

Crazy i just looked at that truck the other day. He might have it set up to where it barely clears...but I can't see brand new tires hitting any kind of bump not rubbing on that.

If you're really looking for that wide stance, I'd recommend a BFG M/T or A/T in a 325/60R15 (basically a 31X12.50R15). And for rims, the Eagle Alloy 058 in a 15X8 or a 15X10. The 15X8 comes with a -30mm offset and 3 1/4" back spacing. The 15X10 comes with a -46mm offset and 3 5/8" back spacing. What that means is the 15X10 will mount 16mm out further giving you an even wider stance. I must say though, this would be pretty extreme. To put this into perspective, the 15X8" wheels stick out 2" further than stock Gen III 15X8" wheels. And the 15X10" wheels would be an extra 16mm. Things get alittle jumbled when you start talking about Back Spacing with 2 different width wheels. Offset should be, in my opinion, the way to judge wheels. The look you are going for will definitely be sweet, but can be alittle hard on wheel bearings. Sometimes you have to pay to play. Good luck.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I doubt this set up would clear the rear of the front fenders even with a 3" body lift. Maybe go with the body lift and be prepared to do some cutting/hammerimg of the fenders. I guess my phrase would be, "Cut to fit!"

Your right Moser. I was running 33x13.50 Baja Claws on 15x10 rims and even with a 3" body and 4" suspension lift, I was rubbing the fenders some while flexing. That truck on ebay would barely be driveable on the street let alone off-road.
