I think you should have held out for 20" rims.

I showed the wife these pics - Her exact quote:

That's MEATY!

Way improved from the teeny tiny white wheels & puney tires. I love it!
Gosh, look at how it dwarfs his son. He is never getting into that thing!
LOL!

I just recently bought the 36x13.50s's are no lie....on the way home this things road like a dream, way better than the 235 pizza cutters that i rolled up there on. We'll see how they turn out once they get some mileage on them...

honestly, 4wheelparts was about the cheapest around. The size i got was 42x14x16.5 and there is a nationwide backorder on them. I got lucky and they had 1 last set in there warehouse.

I shot another pic lastnight.

wouldnt say best ever, but they are pretty nice... i love teh stance with the 42s and anything bigger than 16.5 or 17" rims would have taken away from the truck imo

I said the same thing when I first drove my K5 on boggers.... "These are smoother and quiter than my old SSR's!" Now they feel like tractor tires with close to 10K on them...

you prolly never ran them backwards

the biggest i found was 35's with some fender trimming. i wouldnt mind that at all......

 

[gmc4cw]

how wide are your rims? looks good man!

X2 how wide?

 

[makovai]

X2 how wide?

My wheels are 16.5x9.75 which is the minimum.
The tire says: "rim size 16.5x9.75-12"

 

[gmc4cw]

thanks. I have 12" wide 16.5 wheels now so those tires might work for me. sucks about the backorder.
