My HighBoy came with three dry rotted 33 x 16.5 x 12.5 BFGs and a spare. I've got the 4th 16.5" rim but need a decent set of tires. This truck is on an extreme budget so a new set of anything is out of the question.

Being that there is a fair bit of military installations in the area 37 X 16.5 X 12.5 HumVee tires show up on craigslist quite often and usually for a great price. Question is, will they fit under the Highboy without a lift? Facts would be great but pics would be awesome.

 

if you could find a used set of 35 you would be set,I have 37 on mine with a 4 inch lift,I think folks do it though the trim factor.

 

I put 38s on my stock '74. They are snug, but they work.

 

do they rub the fenders when you turn? im thinkin about 39.5s for my hiboy but I need at least 2 more inches of lift

 

here ya go, these are mounted on stock wheels, they dont hit the fender but they do hit the sheering crap on the hb

 

I'll bet those stiff babies were fun to mount on those skinny wheels. Been there, done that. The cooler temps up here don't help when working with stiff sidewall tires.

 

Thanks guys, those are the kinds of pics I was hoping for.

 

This was long before any lift and if you notice my front fenders are folded. They were folded for 40's and I'm pretty sure didnt need it for the 37's.

 

yeah they sucked ***** to mount, used my back ho to push down on the
tire while it was standing up to seat the bead
