Would Michelin XL tires (16 x 1100) fit on a CUCV rim? I believe those rims are 7.5 inches wide. Anybody have pics of such a set up?

If thoses are the tires I'm thinking of, (38 inch LAV tires) They should fit but the CUCV rim is a little narrow for them. I believe AJMBLAZER has them on his truck but he found a set of late model GM rims that were wider. The factory rim on the M1008 series trucks is 6 3/4" wide to the best of my knowledge. That being said I have 285/75/r16s on the stock rims, and they're really supposed to be on a 8 inch rim but they fit ok. You'll have to wack the fenders alittle to get them to fit on a stock suspension truck.

Thanks for the info. Got 6 inches of lift now with 36s. I believe the XLs run about 38 inches.

But a 15" wheel will not work with the tires in question...
