Tire WIDTH (not diameter)

Hey, DML!
I've seen a lot of posts concerning tire diameters & backspacing & lowering
& lifting...but...I was wondering if anybody out there has gone to a wider
tire than the 10.5 - using the OEM 15 X 8 rims?
At the Valley meet, Chuck Robbins & I discussed the options a little & he
felt that I might be able to get by with 11s...Anybody try 11.5? (Do they
even make 11.5?) I haven't researched any tire places for the answers, so I
figgered I'd put it on the floor here. I don't really need taller tires, but
I think something a little wider would add to the "bulldog" stance of the
DAKSY. I realize that she'd be a little tougher to handle with "snowplows"
pushing the snow, but like somebody else already mentioned..."I LOVE MY
DAK(SY)!"
TIA,
