Can't speak to your specific need, but my recollection is that someone figgered up the OD of someone wanting to 24" wheel bling his ride at Thirty Inches.

As someone then showed his chebby with said 24" wheels and said there was little rub or problems (which was met with Much "yeah, right") I would guess that you have 28" OD to play with, if you're not entering into specialized balloon tires (which might be better for your purpose). Five inches rubber all-round will not do any of your computer stuff any favors and will wear your components, I'm sure - like any four-wheelin', this will Not be a good experience for the longevity of your 4.8.

I'll just presume that these are "gee-whiz, let's have sum fun" slap-on wheel-tire combo and you'll put the real ones back on after the fun is done? If that's the case, then you should be safe with most anything and should ask other sand-rippers there what rubber works best?

Decent BMW 18" OE's from a transmission-victim 4.4 at a boneyard should be a cheap date, and then re-finish 'em as you like.

and hi, wish I could come and watch..
