Getting new tires

i juts bought a 6 inch fabtech lift [coilovers] and 20 inch motto metals [black] and i need some tires now, i love the kumho mt tires, but they only make a 37x13.50x20 that i like. Will they fit or will i run into issues ? also what can i do extra except body lift to increase height to fit the tires. I really want a 37 inch mud terrain tire, so please tell me an alternative if not the kumho, thanks guys.

Get the Nitto Mud Grapplers...they look awesome in large sizes. I hope you don't plan on going offroad with 37's and only a 6" lift. You better think about a 3" body lift. BTW...what did you end up doing with that $25,000 stereo system?

I guess you can't read. . The answer is no and you'll need a 2" Autospring and a 5" block in the rear. I really think 15.50s would be too wide and personally, I think they look like total chit. Just promise, all of us that you'll get pictures.

i promise pics will be posted the hr i get the lift ! u have no idea how bad i wanna prove u guys wrong ! i personally think 15.50 will look good, nice and wide but thats how i like my truck stance. I'm also installing a grizzly bed bar almost at the same time so i want a really rugged looking truck and i think the mickey thompson's will do that.

btw pics are waaaaay outta date.

Put the pipe down and step away from the narcotics!

You have a snowball's chance in hell of getting 37X15.50 (in any diameter) under a simple 6 inch lift. Most of us with the 6 inch lifts are still rubbing with agressive tread pattern 35X12.5...

You can do it with a 3" body lift and you might squeek by with Thumper's suggestion of the 5" block in the rear (the kit comes with a 4" block) and the 2" spacer up front.
