I want to run 38x15.5x18's and cant find many that are running that wide either. I think way of life is running 40x15.5's and there are a couple of others. I dont care if its harder on components, Ill just fix them. Wide tires look sick on these things. Subscribed!

Do yourself a favor and look into axle upgrades or swaps in addition to the pics of 'sick' balloon tires for your D30
