I got the 3.0 because it was 5" compatible. I think with the current spacing, 190 mm rear 150 mm front, 5" is the max. The tires on mine are 4.25" they take plenty of effort to spin. There would be some point of diminishing return as far as width eventually the effort to spin them would outweigh the flotation benefit.
