well it really depends on your build route. tubbed wheel wells on a bone stock truck would like kinda goofy.

but if your slamming it you need the hieght.
and if your racing it you may need the width.
or both

The frames are real narrow on these trucks, thanks to the side mounted fuel tanks. Here's an article where they fit 19.5" wide tires with the stock famerails, after some mods, and wider inner wheel housings, of course.
