With the small stall definitely get the 26" for the track. As for how big of a tire, that depends on backspacing.

Let's say I stick w/. stock 16" alum. Then what? That 275/55/16 says it needs a 9" wide rim. Stock alum. rim width would be too narrow at 7". I always heard u wanna be 1" + between rim & tire.

I have 325s on 8.5" rims....thats basically a 13" wide tire on an 8.5" rim. Although I have a lot more sidewall than most of you guys (65).

the guys on the titan websites like to run the 10" wide tire on the stock offroad rims because they're the lightest, those rims are 7.5" wide and take the 10" wide tread no problem.

well i meant when I was at stock Z height. A 285/75/16 is a pretty good size tire, no way it would work on your drop. Now, after I sold my 285's, right before I dropped the truck, I bought some 265/75/16's, then dropped the truck basically on a 3/4, and there were no rubbin issues. they were nice, filled up the wheel well pretty good.....now I have the 22's and 265/35/22......
