Question Ultra Thick Strings?

Hey,

Can someone give me a small list of the thickest gauge strings that are available commercially. I've heard of low end strings being as thick as 70 or 80, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My guitar is in Standard tuning down a fifth to B (BEADF#b) and I've been playing a .56 on the low B, but it isn't giving me a heavy enough tone. I'm in a Death-Grind band, so I want the sludgiest tone I can get. However, I don't need your help anymore as I've settled on the Zakk Wylde GHS series, 11-70. Thanks anyways.

EDIT: I was gonna go with a mix of strings and put an 80 on the top, but I figured that might prove quite tedious to play on.
