395/85 R20 Michelin XZL???

[hothands]

so i came across a place near my house that sells surplus H1 tires and rims for a pretty good price. thing is, they're huge! in a totally hypothetical world what would it take to run these on a 6.4?

Monster truck tire SALE. Used Military Michelin XZL for 20" rims - City of Toronto Tires, Rims For Sale - Kijiji City of Toronto Canada.

in the second link they mention size '14 R20' - what does that mean anyway?

47" tall tires are huge!!! R20 means the rim diameter. I would think you would need 12" or more of lift and modification to the fenders still.

those tires are not off hmmwv's those are from an MRAP or other larger military vehicle. that is a very big tire for a truck that weighs 30-40k lbs

oh so you're right, looking back at their ebay page they do sell 37's (37x12.5x16.5LT). still enormous...

[hothands]

okay so stupidity aside...

2.5" levelling kit and i should clear and a 37X12.5 tire?

i'm also kind of interested in such a large tire because i'm got a ZF6 and its geared a little lower than the auto i used to have. of course it doesn't hurt i could snaggle a set of these for real cheap and they certainly look the part.

What do you folks think of that tire?

37" tires with a 4.5" lift. I would run 35" maybe 36" tires on a leveling kit. JMHO.

ya to run the big ones you going to need a huge lift, especially considering their width, the 37's would fit with a 4.5" lift 35 is about as big as your going to go with a leveling kit. Also note the smallest rim that will fit on a 6.4 is 17", So the hummer tires wont fit either.
