So im stuck
and im not to great when it comes to tires
the truck came with 36x12.5x16.5
so basicly i have to get new rims because of the odd tire size

now what i cannot figure out is the offset?

my truck is a 1984 and has a 6 inch lift?

so that being said what offset are you guys running? know anyone with used rims for sale that would fit?

Sounds like you had a set of Military tires on the truck. Do a search on Pirate 4x4 I think they have a couple of vendors that have that size tire. Military surplus ofc.

i have 37" wrangler military surplus tires.

They work well in the rain here, paid 475 for a set of 4 that are 90%+

Love them more than the mudstars on my truck before but the mudstars wore like iron though.

"wreckles custom" has a 8" lift on his truck with humvee tires.
the pic on the right is with stock springs.

i was looking at that haha. might have to go with that till i get new wheels/tires. trying to get the body rust under control first :)
