will these tires fit?
I have a chance to buy 4 Super Swamper TSL's super, super cheap . However, I am no tire guru so I thought I'd ask someone who knows.
Will the SUper Swamper TSL 37x12.50R 16.5 fit my stock rims. Or do or is that .5 the killer? Thanks

16.5 will not fit on a set of 17's No if ands or buts about it. And very dangerous to try. They had all sorts of problems with 16 and 16.5 tires. The tire installers were not paying attention and got hurt

that is what I figured. I think I am going to go ahead and buy them and see if i can trade them somewhere for the correct size. Or resell them. I can't pass up this deal I can get 6 of them for $400. UNUSED !!!

I've run a set of TSL Boggers on my F150 and all I can say is worthless!!!! More road noise than you could ever imagine, short lifespan, wondering on the highway and not worth a *%@^ on snow or ice....but darn they sure do look good. Great for scaring Grandmas at the crosswalks!

The 17's do not clear the rear calipers by much on these trucks . I went down a fresh tar road and had a very small piece stick to the inside of the rim and I started hearing a ticking sound . I put it up on the lift to find it and it amazed me how little clearance there is in the back . No way you could put 16.5's on these trucks , maybe if you went back to drums on the back .
