ill have a 5" lift, and i did search and i only get 2 tires, mostly the nitto mud grappler, and it says 9.5" width on the rim, but i was just wondering if there was a 8" width tire out there somewhere.

Just so you know, "385" is the width of the tire, not the height.

I have a hard time finding 385 tires in general, a lot of the tire sites don't even go that high, just doing a search, I find nothing that will fit on an eight inch rim, which, considering the size of the tire, is not that big of a surprise.

I seriously doubt you are going to find anything in that size that doesn't want at minimum a 9.5 inch rim.

With 5" of lift I would recommend 35's. But, if you want 37's, just get a 37x12.5. That is a common size tire, and will safely wrap around an 8" wheel.


Oh poop, I see you have 16" wheels. Yeah, they are typically around 13.5" wide with that size wheel. Hmmmmmmmm...

The tires might look good, but you're going to look goofy as hell getting into the truck with a step ladder.
