In Reply to: can you run 1100x16 on wc63-6x6 will they clear or posted by cc sammy on Tuesday, May 18, 2004 at 11:01PM :
the wc62/63 6x6 was designed by some of the
best engineers in the world
it used the 9.00x16 which provided the clearance required to use chains in deep mud
or snow conditions (chains give approx 250% more traction than the best mud/snow tires in these conditions)
you will see the 6x6 all chained up in the testing picture found in most dodge books
unless you are planning to use the 6by in
sand all the time the 11.00's would not do anything other than put more stress on the suspension (added unsprung mass) and use more
fuel
