I've searched the post and found one person running this tires 38's with a lift. My question is will these 36's fit without a lift.
LT375/60R18 (36X15.50R18LT)

Thanks ahead for the input.

Hi:

I run the 38 x 15.5 MT with an 8" lift. You will have trouble with the 36's because of the 15.5 width. My Weld EVO Cheyennes come with stock 4.5 backspacing and wheels are hard to get with less. It makes the wide rim too "offset" to warranty.

You can use good spacers to help you out but....the wider track may not look right and will cause stress on the front end. I have tested a spacer size by putting a lift under my truck, making a wood shim the width of the spacer and setting the rim back up against the wheel---leave the jack in place http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Get a good forged wheel, like a Weld with wide tires. Good wheels really help in getting them balanced and avoiding road shimmy at moderate speeds.
