I know that the biggest most go with a 8" lift is 37's. But i really like the height that im at now with 8" plus I love huge tires stuffed in a wheelwell. It looks tough, plus gives it a real stout stance. It also makes more sense to me when it costs about $404 i think it was from 4wheelparts for 37" Mickey Thompson MTZ. But I could get a set of 38" Kumho Venture MT from TireRack for about $320. My questions would it just take a hell of alot of trimming to stuff 38's, or maybe wheel spacers. Right now I have 18-9 Moto Metal 951's with I believe has 4.53 backspacing. Will that be a problem? Cause in my mind either it wouldnt work to put a 15.5" wide tire on a 9" wide rim, or it would just make it a really bubblie tire. Don't get me wrong I will probably end up going with 37's because it is more practical, but it wouldn't be crazy to run 38's cause of the look and price. Ohh yea and I have read up about gearing too, so no worries they are in the plan. Any thoughts are welcome, and thanks for the input in advance.

 

if it was me id stick with 37's because i do not like rubbing or having to trim

 

Heres you some stuffed rubber...





Kumho's are a terrible tire btw. Probably why they are so cheap, only suckers would buy them.

 

Im running 37's on 6 inches of lift and they rub at a point in the turn a little ways past mid turn, but you get over it. sometimes it bothers me but 99% of the time i dont ever turn my truck far enough to deal with it. i just drive it like its a semi haha. I would assume 38's on 8 inches of lift would be the same concept, maybe not as harsh as mine because its only another inch of tire instead of wo inches like me, ( they only reccomend to run 35's with 6 inches of lift)
there is what mine look like

But i do want another 2" of lift

And if you going to get some tires, dont opt for Kumho's, just dont.
