Putting those wheels/tires on a heavy duty truck is a good way to make it useless. Seems like the only practical purpose would be for sand. Notice the red truck a couple posts back getting yanked out of 6" of mud?

so >38in tires issss... practical? pretty good way to need tons of mods to be able to even turn that big of tires and makes them useless on the road.

these trucks do great on the beach, street, truck pulls, and the right tires do awesome in the mud. seems pretty practical to me.... there just not your style

Edit: yea your right, the fact that the tires are almost worn to slicks had nothing to do with why that truck was stuck

I never have liked that look. Isn't the point of lifting to get more ground clearance? Kinda defeating the purpose going with those small tires. But everyone is different. I liked bagged trucks and lifted trucks.
