Any thoughts on this or anybody who's gone with bigger than stock on these 2000s?
Thanks!

Welcome, and Congrats on the pick up. The front rims shouldn't be much of an issue with going to the wider 7.50's
Now for putting 26/12/12's on the back rims, that would cause you to have a very narrow tread contact patch with the ground.
Super wide tires, narrow rims. I myself wouldn't go wider than the 10.50's you mention. Even so... You can/could gain a little
more tire to ground contact by running lower tire pressure with the 10.50's, but the 12's nope. HTH
Here's a link to a tire rim chart, but not sure what sizes are available for the newer stuff.

EDIT: I forgot too add that if you go with the taller sizes keep the amount being raised even. Going up 2" in the front to the 18's and 25's in the back keeps your deck even.
