Default Rear meats

Has any one thought of just putting rear fender flares on and running wide rear tires (old school look)? I was thinkin of staying 245-265 in the front and maybe running 305's in the rear.. any one have any pics of this

If you can get your hands on a June issue of 2002 Sport Truck Magazine you can get a look at exactly what you are talkin about. They didnt use 305's in the rear but used the fender flares so tires wouldnt poke out of wheel wells. It is on a yellow GMC with blakc racing stripes, the truck is on the cover.

I just ordered some Intro 22's with 6.5" of backspacing and plan to run 305's on mine, I actually am hoping the will be flush..

22x10s?? If so you I think you will need closer to 7" or 7.5" tho get them to sit inside or flush with wheel wells. I just talked to Intro about this about a week ago.
