I like Les Schwab, but I have never understood the desire to increase the wheel and tire size larger than stock. It just changes the rear axle ratio to a lower number and reduces power. I have an F-350 with 16 inch wheels. The truck runs like it is supposed to but I guess that makes me a geezer.
Overall tire diameter doesn't have to change. My 245/70R19.5 were the same height as my previous 275/70R18 tires but thinner.
