I dont know what the largest combo is, but i have 14" rims with 26" x 9" slicks. They tuck under just perfect with little mods. I believe you can get away without modifying your firewall if you run a points style distributor, although if you run an electronic you'll probably have to massage it. I run a Griffin 19" x 22" radiator. You can find pictures of my truck at http://photos.yahoo.com/barlienringo Hope this helps, Bryan

I run a 275/60-15 BFG drag radial on a 15x8 5" rearspacing Weld Wheel for street and a the same wheel and a 28x10 Goodyear eagle drag slick for the strip (or that big money street race) I believe that is close to the 28x12.5-15 ET street as mentioned above. It has a narrowed 9" though so not sure what rear spacing to use if you have a stock rear end but in a nutshell you can get a 10" tire in there no problem. I did have to buzz the lakewood slapper traction bars a tad bit though.
