325/50/15 Mt (could go MAYBE 3/8" wider but don't wanna push it) on a 3piece beadlock.

To get that to fit a stock width rear end, you need nearly 8.5" of backspace, which some companies won't/can't do on certain wheels.

That is awesome

Right now I am only running P275/60R15 (10 13/16” wide and 28” diameter)
