just picked up a set of 36x12.5x15 super swamper tsl. will it fit with my lift? im running 15x12 rim and i hope that it will stretch the tire, making it shorter. it measures 34.5" with it not even mounted.

anyone have this wheel and lift combo or something close to it so i can see if its even possible?

The 12" wide rims are too wide for a 12.5 tire, especially if you air down any. That tire needs a 8" wide rim.

10in wheels would be perfect........... I run 9's with 11.5 in.

Ask yourself, do you really want a tire and wheel combo that's going to stretch/warp the shape of the tire???

i agree 12" wheels are way too wide for that tire, 10" wide wheels work good or if you plan on really airing down to low pressures use an 8" wide wheels, and be sure to post pics when you get them on!

I'm running 36x12.50 TSL SX's on 15x8's and they are perfect.

Running right around 4.5" of susp lift, 3" body lift and cut fenders.
