Hello all. I'm sure it's in the archives somewhere or I'm not searching right but...Can someone tell me the best tire they've put on the m1008 pickup without lifting. Like to put the largest possible without problems. Thanks,Capt.T Also any pics would be great.

With or without fender trim? The fender style is very blocky and you can get a large tire in there if you round the corners some. I'm planning to put 37" HMMWV radials on mine soon. I may go with the 1" zero rate block in the front as well.

Wow, thanks for the quick response. In short you guys are telling me I can put the 36's on this 1008 stock without a lift and no rubbing? That's a great look ! Thanks to all, Capt. T

Nobody said that. I have tried to say/show that you CAN run 36's without a lift if you trim some fender. Otherwise, I would expect some (a lot) of rubbing.

O.K. thanks. Didn't figure I'd get off that easy... Was just looking at the 36's on Ebay and trying to make a decision. What size is on the 1008 pic. second fromt the top with the nice paint job ? Thanks again,T

GM and their vertical-cut fenderwells............... remember the other important factor common to all the pictured trucks - narrow or stock wheels. Anything wider than stock or with less bs gives up precious clearance real fast.

I have 35" tires on my CUCV. They are the 10" wide radial swampers, and they took fender trimming to fit. I haven't beaten them up off road yet, so it's possible the front might rub. I'd have serious doubts about going any larger without a lift.

36" tires will fit fine as long as they are narrow like the humvee tires, the wider offroad tires will have rubbing issues without a lift.

36x12.5-16.5 for the bias ply Wrangler RT/II's and 37x12.5R16.5 for the radial Wrangler MT's. For all intents and purposes though they're the same size. Ones a bit tall, the other is a little small.
