HillBillyDelux, LOL nice topic! :thup:
btw I like the look and color(American - :wink: ) of your truck.

My tires are definitely not the widest, but they look decently wide on 20" rims. Mine are 255/45r20. I wanted to go wider bcuz I miss my 295s that were on my Lightning, but I was afraid any wider wouldn't look right with the rims only being 8" wide...

Sorta cheating with a 4x4 :) But it has had plenty of power to smoke the 12.50's silly for a very long time :) Even used to run a magic button and a 14.50 tire, but both are long gone now
