It's off a Komatsu WA600 wheel loader. I think the overall diameter is about 80"...

I think you might need at least a leveling kit to fit those. Lol

If you don't mind a little Chevy action I will add to this thread. There is some ford **** at the end to keep you interested!
I picked his car up in the morning and brought it to work. I was going to tow it to the track and race him. Ended up not pulling it to the track(his truck became available) but I did beat him at the track. This truck is currently sitting with out an engine because the stroker isn't quite buttoned up.

The truck has helper bags because the leaf pack is reduced for extra lowering.

Here is my Daily doing plenty of work. It is bagged so you will notice no matter the load she will always sit level except the first picture. It was shortly after I bought it. The truck on the trailer doesn't have the engine in it.

This is a 12,000-15,000 lb mini ex. A friend picked it up from the rental store with his F-150 and pulled it 4-5 miles to the shop. He couldn't get over 35 mph and the bumper was nearly dragging. He did have air shocks aired up to 100 psi. In it's defense it had 200,000 mi but ran just fine other wise.


This was just for fun to see how the truck pulled with the 3200 stall and trans cooler. It went well never got over 200 in town.

The wood is two rows deep but nothing too crazy.


And here is a "12 Ecoboost we installed helper bags. That is 2450# sitting on the tail and it is level.


If you notice a theme of air bags, that is because unless you haul nothing more then a stick and duffel bag, helper bags or full on bagged like my Tahoe is the best thing to have!
