I can do the work in about 4 hours for about 35-40 bucks. That includes several rolls of towels and gloves. Shop folks should have it done in an hour to hour and half.
My thoughts on going to larger size tires, be really careful they fit. To avoid them tearing up the fender wells, I stick with same as factory size but go to a heavier ply many times.
Ok, going from 5 ply to 8 ply already. I have plenty of room to go bigger as I have slides on both sides that the fender attaches to, and inside about 2-3 inches and height wise, 4 plus inches....
