Dumb question on wheels

Dumb question but i want to be sure.

What's the widest tire i can fit on my stock 18 lariat wheels(6 spoke)?

I was looking at toyo open country m/t's in 36X13.00R18. I don't think i can stuff 37's under there without rubbing issues even with the 4.5 lift. Plus the price just keeps going up up and up.

I currently have BFG AT KO2's 35x12.5R18. the drivers side rubs alittle on full lock. Im just trying to do my research now because im going to need tires before winter yet again. I will never buy KO2's ever again, Im on my second set of 2 (and no i aint burning them @ $305 a tire). The other two are still good from when i bought them early last year. Both times these 2 only lasted about 10-15k. I use to get 60-70k out of the old KO's and that was with my 97's twin I beam crap and doing burn outs. Doesn't matter if they're on the front or back or which side I've checked and rechecked the balance.

Now if i could get my injectors and get her back on the road again.

Thanks yall

35s without a front leveling kit, and depending on the tire, remove mud flaps to clear with a 35. Are you saying with the 2006 with a 4 inch lift you have rub with 35s? As I doubt you'll get 37s on there.

Rubbing with a 4.5 lift? Mine don't rub at all, full lock both ways, no lift. If you're rubbing with 35x12.5, you will probably have to do some trimming to fit 36x13.
