there's no need to put the biggest slick in there you can. The more tire there is, the heavier it is, which means more rotating mass, which is bad.

What is your combo and how fast are you wanting to run?

to fit a 28x10.5 slick in there, you would have to remove the quad shocks, roll the fender lip, and do a little massaging inside the wheelwell.

Unless you're planning on running low 10's-high 9's or faster, then there's not really a need to screw the tires to the rims. You have to run tubes when you screw them btw.
