Remember wider is not always better unless your suspensions is set up perfect. A smaller slick will bite as hard depending on some factors.

I had a 15x10 wheel with 6.5bs and a 29.5x10.5s m/t and had less than a 1/4" between the sidewall and leafspring.

I bet some of y'all got 14" weiners too huh?
