I think Rockwells are 72" WMS with the hubs in stock position, and 69"
with the hubs flipped. we're about 64" WMS front and rear, stock.
you'd need some really, really shallow backspacing to get the tires all
the way outside the body (like stock mil dually rims, facing out). not
to mention it would look like crap, and fit nowhere =)

Hell, you'd probably be pushing 102" outside to outside. Let me
think... if those tires are 16" wide, say the milspec rims are 20x8,
-2" backspacing, that would leave 14" of tire outside the WMS, for a
total width of 14+14+72 = 100" ha! "barely legal" ;-)

gopher it!

(if I did Rocks, My truck would look a lot like Hero's ('cept no
leaves): <http://tinyurl.com/3nep7> those are rockwells with 44" TSLs,
for the record)
