you could also send a private IM to anyone posting a GTS in their avatar.
to do that click on their screen name on any thread and another window will open , then you can ask them what tires/wheels they are running . This may get you a faster response, goodluck, Stan

Sterling is running 12" wheels and 325x18 tires on the rear and 265's on the front of his monster. I think that is about max. I know it's the largest I'm aware of.
