That's what I was thinking.

I was hoping for that. But then I have aftermarket rims. I'm pretty sure
mine are 15x7. Anyone with With Prrogressive rims know how to find this
measurement. The truck came with these rims on it... so I don't have any
documentation on them. THe dealer removed all of that stuff that the owner
(met him later) had left with the truck when he traded it in. So I have
entirely no clue. I spent about 30 mins. On the progressive site this
afternoon.. but hadn't found them before I had to do that work thing again.

Basically... lets assume that I DO have 15x7 what's the maximum size tire
that anyone with a Gen II Dak has put on without a lift?
