37" MTRs on a 6" lift?

[aaron]

2001 Tahoe, 2 wheel drive. So I don't care about rubbing during articulation or anything.

Does anybody know if this is feasible?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Your gonna rub a ton just driving. Forget about flex. You could do a 3" body on top of that though. It would fit then. What lift are you looking at?

I'm doing a 3" body with a 3" spindle lift. Was originally going 315/75r16's but I found a deal on some 37" mtrs (which I think aren't actually a true 37)

I think your gonna need over 6"s of lift to clear them. I would just stick with those 35s. what rims are you running?

 

[aaron]

Not sure on the brand, but aftermarket 16x8 rims. The 285's I have stick out like 1/2" from the fenderwell.

Edit: Also, from my googling it sounds like the 37" MTR measures out to a 36" true height. FYI

Old mt/r or the new kevlar? IIRC my 37" old school mt/r measured 35.5", should clear with enough offset/trimming.

hey man, i have 6" of suspension and my 315/75/16s seem to fit just right. they are like 34.9" tall and 10.5 wide, i think they would rub more if they were wider but im sure you could fix that with rims with a lil more offset. as for 37s i think you would be do in some major rubbin

why are you lifting it if you obviously are never going to use it offroad? All money that could be better spent getting you a supercharger or something else fun like that.

and with the right lift/ tire combo u will do fine
i HAVE yet to get stuck with my swampers in 2 wheel drive
i dont even have my front drive shaft in
and i got into some serious mud holes

I'm lifting it because I like lifted trucks. I have had plenty of off-road rigs (jeeps) so I am a fan of that endeavor also, but not in my tahoe.

As far as lift goes, I am looking at doing a 3" suspension lift with a 3" body lift. From what I have read, the suggested tire size is 315/75r16 or 36x12.50x16.

Can you tell me more about the rubbing-when-turning problem? Are you saying the rubbing isn't in the fenderwell, but actually at the bumper(s)?
