5 ton rockwell ?'s

[Mud Chief]

I have some 5 tons that I thought of using under my 82 Cherokee. I'm dovetailing the rear and narrowing the front, 4 linking front and rear and running a cadillac 500 on propane....
My questions are
1) What size rim should I use with the stock bakes removed (10 bolt).
2)What size tires would I be limited to, I was thinking of running 44's.
I know they're heavy, my frame has been boxed and the roof has been removed with a full cage going in.
Also, any insight as to keeping this project under the 8' height?
Thanks

I would keep the ten lug pattern and run 5 ton double beadlocks. They can be ran with around 2.5" or 7" backspaceing.
