When I built the truck I couldn't afford larger rear tires so I bought a smaller set. Well, they always bothered me because they were too narrow. Today I found a set of used tires on Craigslist that were the right size. Yes, they're pretty worn (seller said they had a couple of burnouts left in them - yikes!) but they'll last awhile until I can locate better.
First pic, old rear tires - note how they appear to roll under because they're not wide enough for the 8" wheel. Second pic, new rear tires are almost 2" wider, much better for the big bulbous panel truck rear end - plus they lowered my rear end another 1/4 inch - win, win!
