Anyone Running a 36" Tire w/6in Lift??

Hi all, I have an 01 CCLB with a 6in lift. Currently running 35x12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja Clay Radials. Want to run a 36, anyone running them, any pics? I like the SSR but all they offer is a 35x14.50x16, then they jump up to a 37". Also considered the Baja Claw again, but they only offer a 36x15.50x16. I think that is too wide for my lift, unless anyone has experience with this size that would state otherwise. Thanks for any info!!!

I ran 38x15.5's w/ a 6" RCD. Have to get the backspacing right and if you go offroad it might try to grab the back edge of the wheelwell occasionally. And no problem running a 35x12 under a 2", just need to trim or move the bumper. Check my galleries under the '99.

You could probably run a 37x12.50 or 37x13.50, I could almost fit that under my 4" lift with this bumper. I'd love to find a good 36", but I don't want anything more aggressive than a Toyo MT or Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ.

I ran my 36-15.50-20 with just 6'' of lift and it had some pretty bad rubbing issues. Could barley turn the wheels. Trimmed the bumper and it was drivable, but rubbed all the time. My wheels are 20x10 4.5bs. I think that if you dont have a real agressive BS wheel and stick with 12.50 or 13.50 you will be fine.

My tires are 325/60r20's and they measure out 36" tall and a little over 13" wide. All I had to do to get them to fit was trim the corner plastic valance just below the bumper on each edge. You can't even tell by looking at it that anything is trimmed.

I had 35s with 4'' that cleared with no problems
A 6'' should be able to clear 36s, the only part that may hit is the bumper valance, but you dont need that anyway!

Thanks for all the feedback. I know a 37 will fit but was really looking for a 36. The SS Irok comes in 36x13.50x16 but that tire is just too agressive for me. Looks like I am going to go will a 35x14.50 SSR, will post pics once installed, thanks again.....

If I spend the money on a set of 18" wheels, Mickey Thompson offers a 305/70/18 which is 35.1" tall and a little narrower than the 315/75/16s I'm running now. I think that would be the best size for my setup. I like a fairly aggressive tire, but I don't want them sticking out and I don't care for overly wide tires either.
