Dual Wheel Conversion?!

you would have to see this truck? to understand.
it is an ex cab with the back half of a 78 bronco on it.
a built 428 police interceptor engine, 6" frame lift,
lots more
very odd looking and i want to make it odder
thats why the dual idea.
thanks for the reply.

Yes, commercial truck wheels and tires would give you the height that you are looking for. you can run 22.5" wheels, but they come in 10 lug. Chromewheel.com sells adaptors from 8 to 10 lug just for this type of conversion. steel wheels are easy to come by, or you can go with alcoas$$. Tire selection is pretty good also.

It depends, if its deep mud or snow, the outside wheel will cause more harm than good, ICE, it may be a different story.

So the mud would have to be pretty thick to get the outer tire stuck. hmm...That shouldn't be a problem for me. I drive mostly through soft ground, wet - but not muddy, and some snow. Does it also have to do with the fact that the weight of the rear end is spread out on 4 tires and not 2?
