Well here it is.

Why did you choose to go down in tire size? Was the width an issue?

It was these or 16.00x20 xl, 14.00 xl seem to be scarce up here. I am right at 8'-6 ish. If I find I don't like these I might go with the 16.00s. I will see how the power is.The 16.00s will probably require me to remove the spacers.

Can you post a pic looking down the sides to see how the tires sit?

I will try to get one ,but we got a winter storm going on right now.I will tell You the front is about 4" narrower.

It still overwidth. you have to cut the bed down to be within limts to run without a permit.

I have a 1953 IHC bridge truck . Have a set of 16.00x20 sitting up in the bed . Waiting for rims, like to know what you have in mind for your bed . I was looking to cut down the middle of the deck and re weld that then move out bed rails to make street legal. Then the mirrors ,boy those mirrors sure stick pretty far out.

I don't understand width limits and the DOT. It's a truck isn't it ? It's got road tires and wheels on it, meant for road use. It should be legal to drive on the road, right?
