36's or 37's?

Hey,

I am looking at getting some larger tires for my Bronco. At the moment i have some BFG's 33X12.5X15's.

I am looking to go big, was thinking 39.5's at first. Then 37's then 36's.

I found some new IROK super swampers on Ebay 36X13.5X15 for $799 shipped. Is this a good deal?

I asked the person selling these if they had 37's. I was told the the 36's size runs true at 36, but the 37's run at 35.5. Is this true?

I am looking for a nice tall and beefy look, will the 36's do this for me? At 13.5 wide i am thinking they will look nice on my truck, the 33's just look to small.

Thanks for any input.

Well, looks like im going to go for the 39's.

Myself and my wife were driving along and we looked at a chev for sale with 44's on it. My wife looked at me and said, "you will not be happy with 36's" so i made up my mind to go for the 39.5 X 13.5 X 15's. Well, my wife made up my mid for me :P

39's are pretty big for those half-ton axles and brakes. You may want to re-think your plan...

Oh, the axles and brakes are not stock in my truck. Im actually going to go for 38's. I called discount tire service here in town and they said that the 38's are alot more popular, and the extra inch makes a big difference cost wise.

Thanks
