military tires on our trucks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It seems these days with the militarys ability to spend excessive amounts of money, their used tires seem to be relatively inexpensive (compared to new tires anyway). Does anyone know if one of the hummer 36/12.5/16.5 tires will fit under our truck without rubbing? I was thinking about putting a 4" lift on my 3/4t (already fits 33's without a lift) would this be enough to clear these things, or when I turn, will I be doomed to rub?
Is there a wheel I could get with a specific backspacing that might help? (looking for new wheels anyway).
Thanks
