36's will look fine on 16" rims, and remember if you get a 36" Swamper it's probably just as tall as 37" Goodyear or Goodrich or whatever, Swamper's are always more true to their size than other manufacturers

If it was me I would do 16.5x12 or 14 on 38's... I personally like the bigger wider tires than big rims and skinny tires just my 02...

Cus we're compensating for something else:whistle:

I think you need the 20" with 38's rapped around them. She's gonna look sweet. I saw a truck just like yours in Pittsburgh yesterday. The only differance was he had a cowl hood and the cowl part was painted black and about 8 inches of the bottom of the truck. Really made it look huge.
