eff, yours is just a street truck right? what wheels have you decided on? i think 38's with the hulks won't work they stick out alot, but heres a ghetto way to check. get tubing with a height of 1" and put it on the inner and outter and middle of the tire and tape them on. have someone turn the wheel and see what hits and where. do it to the front and rear of the tire.that should give you an idea if you can run 38's at all. i think a 15.50" wide tire would be to much, you might be able to use a 14.50 but i would stick with a 13.50. ask cowboyup (thinks thats her name) about her 6" and BL and ask her if she rubs at all and that might help you decide on a width to run.

I dont think you will be able to fit them with being that wide. To me it would kinda seem like putting a 35 inch tire with aftermarket wide rims on a truck with a leveling kit. It will fit and you can turn some, but not much.

i dont think it will rub as bad as some of you think it will. i ran the 37's with 6 inches of lift for a while without any problems. they rubbed but not to bad. Im going to get a test tire and try it out. ill think of something. this is good though because now i know i will be the only one running that tire size with this amount of lift =]

you have an extra .5" on me. im only rockin 2" of crank from the coilovers.

i dont know exactly when i will get the tires. they are a pretty penny. i wish i would get the toyos with a 14.50 or a 13.50 width.

anyone know if they can find them?
