Not many of the North American guys run that kinda size... but it's common in Australia I believe. You'll need to roll your fender lips of course.
You'll likely want something like 17x7 and 205/40-17 (just a guess off the top of my head, don't place too much faith lol), but do all the calculations to compare tire diameter, etc. You'll want to keep the diameter as close to stock as possible.

Disregard what I said and listen to the guy who knows
215 - I thought 205 was the max at the front end before rubbing becomes a problem? Does 215 assume a particular non-stock suspension setup?

I run a 225 40 16 Yokohama A520 with a slight lip roll. Almost 300hp and I was amazed at how well it hooks up. G-Tech Pro: 13.01@117mph
12.93@115mph

since tires are part of the suspension then you will. 60series sidewalls absorb far more then you realize.

The muffler is a Magnaflow part# is for Dodge Cummins disel. canister dia.:9.25inch
inlet and outlet are:4 in 5 out
Tip is stainless with 3/16 inch wall material and is from Beckers Milk factory. It was a part from the processing plant, it is tapered from 5 inch to 6 inch and is "slashed" cut then Tig. on to muffler. I have yet to see another.

No it is not. The exhaust is off at the turbo causing the muffler to tilt up. The discoloration is exhaust soot from running race fuel from Mosport Raceway. Thanx for the concern though!

Oh yeah, and anyone wanna give me some deailed info on rolling fender lips? Ive heard of it done alot, but when I look at the cars, I dont see a difference (I guess they did a good job ). I have a feeling its just litterly rolling the fenders out of the way, but does anyone have any detailed pics (before and after maybe?) or a how to or something? Not important, Im just trying to learn . Thanks.

If it is what I am thinking, it is the lip that bends inward about half an inch. All I did with mine is bent them back so that they were not going to touch the tires if I hit a bump. the first pic shows the lip on the back wheel well and the second pic shows the front with the lip bent in so you cant see it.
