15" Rims on Excursion?

Looking at some 44" Super swampers and these are 18.5/44-15LT

Will that fit on the ex? Heard some issues with fitment because of the brakes? Anyone know if it will work?

Hmmm any way to swap brakes to allow fitment?

I am finding tons of 44s for 15" tire and I'd go that route> the military 52s if I could fit them.

From the stand point of mechanical efficiency you should be looking for larger brakes with a tire that size ( 44" Super Swampers ) rather than attempting to put on something smaller merely to accomodate a fifteen inch rim.

Stay thirsty my friends.

Wondering then how the majority of these people running 44s with 15" rims can do so with the size brakes they have?
