36 Inch Tires?

18's wont do any good, all the beadlock rims come in 17" and the raptor rim is 17".

And do you really need bead locks?

 

[justvettn]

Yes, I already have 17" Beadlocks and my stock rims are 17".
I thought you said you were hard core? Lol!

I run 15's
I am hardcore. I don't even need bead locks.

I use to have a superduty and ran parnelli jones dirt grips that were 36inch. This was like 2000/2001.

Late to the party. Thanks for the info guys. I wish Toyo offered the M/T's in 36

if you switch to metric sizes you can find tires that are closer to 36". i havent seen a true standard size 36" in forever. with metric sizing anything is possible.

 

[justvettn]

So who has tires in metric sizes that are similar in size to a 36X12.50/17?

Closest I can find come in 18" wheel configuration.
as mentioned earlier:
BFG KM2 in 36x13.50x18
Overall Diameter = 35.51

&

Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain 315/70-18
Overall Diameter = 35.709



Both seem to be a decent step up compared to stockers which are 34.5 without getting into rubbing issues that come with 37's. I wanted to stay 17's but am very tempted to step up to 18's with a more aggressive offset(Method Std +18) and go with the 36's when the stock tires begin to go. Should give a kick ass stance without losing any sidewall/floatation.
