    did you do a drum brake conversion? or are you going to grind the crap out of your calipers because the smallest rim you can fit on a disc is a 16''

    aside from that i went with a 28 x 11.5 x 16 MT Drag Radial...habent used them on my truck yet but i did use a set that Taylor let me borrow down at SAR and they hooked really nicely

    dont have to grind all that much off. just taper the caliper downwards. basically removing the ridges in them. mine been done almost 3yrs and no issues.

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    I agree. Grinding to fit 15" wheels is easy and there are many more tire choices that are readily available vs a 16" slick.
