10" wide wheel without tubbing

I want to run 10 inch wheels on the back and it would be nearly impossible to tub our trucks without dramaticly changing the frame, which would comprimise the structual integrity of the frame, and I don't want that for a drag truck. Has anyone ever ran 10 inch wide wheels on a mighty max in the rear?

My truck is sitting on rollers right now, the back two are 10X15s. Its a 4x4 with a 3 inch body lift. The wheels stick out the side but have plenty of clearance to the finder lip. I will get pics of them tomorrow for you if you would like

If you build the backhalf right, it will be stronger than stock. You can find prebent mandrel bent framerails from damn near any speed shop catalog. Find a damn good welder that can burn metal!
