Fat tires?

I like to look a the rear of a dent side and see FAT tires under the bed. I was wondering if anyone had any picture of fat tires. And what is the fatest tire and wheel combo that will fit on on a stock 78.

Not the fattest tires to be put on a truck, by any means... But they are the fattest tires to ever be put on this particular truck 31 x 10.50 x 15... The problem is, you can't see them through the mudflaps ... I do intend to replace those mudflaps at some point - anybody from Wyoming want these?

I have 295/50/15's on mine mounted on 10" wide rims, they're pretty fat. I'll see if I can get a better pic straight on from the back if you need it.

Huh... I didn't think anyone would actually take me up on that lol... It might be a bit before I get around to replacing them, but I'll keep you guys in mind... Although, I can't really tell if mlcopen69 wants them or not... I'll try not to tear them up when I unbolt them from the bumper lol...

I have been a Wyoming resident for 26 years and I would hate to see them thrown away.

Well, since you were the first to respond, I guess it's only fair that you get first crack at them when I pull them off...

... unless lurch460 or mwvdub want to start bidding on them lol... Hmmmm.... I'll send ya a private message when I pull them off - I have no idea how long they've been on there so it might be fun getting them back off...

And now, in an effort to pull this thread back on-topic, anybody else out there have any fat tires on their truck they'd like to show the OP?
