military tires on our trucks?
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

I'm sorry man, but that is just funny as hell. I had looked into the hummer tires when i was still in the army. A buddy of mine ran them on his 82 k/5, and said they were the worst riding tires he had ever installed on his truck. Stomper, can you validify this?
