Oh. ok . because those wide tires are wicked in the rain.

Weld used to make a really wide 8 lug wheel for phantoms (14" or 15" wide I believe) don't know if they are still availible.

if your thinking of running the M\T sportsmen or the protac it looks all cool but you got two problems the side walls are tall and soft so you get side movement

and then our trucks are heavy and you'll have to keep the air pressure up and you'll wear the center out of the tire
I had mine on for about 3.5 months and it was a little scetchy going into a corner hard you'd never know if the ass end was coming around on you.
I drove mine everyday so I used up my tires in that time

just my 2cents thats what I didnt like about that set up

i had a phantom as well and couldnt stand it after a couple of years, like was said you cant hardly drive um in the rain, we lived in oregon at that time and it was pretty much relegated to the shop for months at a time. no one could drive it, plus the dam M/T's would ware out in one summer, theres no way we could tow our boat safely with it and the few times we did we had to have some one else launch it for us, once the tires got wet it wouldn't even pull its self up the ramp let alone the boat. it did look awesome tho and it was fun to build it but there not all there cracked up to be for sure

if you could find a tire to fit the super single. that would be great..

I meant super singles with big rig tires. Narrowed rear, tubbed out, etc. He's going for the pro street look.

a super single may work a lot better, theres a lot more static weight with those then with a large boyd or centerline and a M/T
