Sorry, I had to, kinda in a funny mood, well ya, k!

These are going on my brother's friends GMC Sierra 2009 (RED) with a 6 inch lift, and these to make it a 12 inch lift

Sad thing is, they only come in a 35 or higher, they even looked huge next to my bros rubi and it got a 2.5 inch lift on 33s

excellent use of your phone as a tires stop.

Was contemplating the Nitto's but they are supposed to be load as heck on the road.

Haha... I noticed the cell phone stop too!.

I love my Nitto's! Loud yes but when a tire looks that good who cares. Cause I don't.

If the tires are giving it another 6" of lift, then they'd have to be 12" taller overall then stock... :?:

those look much larger than 35's!!!

Not impossible, swap in full-width axles and mount them!! But don't put 20's!! Never really understood why they make 20 inch rims for mud tires. Your only allowed to put 20's on 49" iroks!!

I've never understood why they make mud tires so wide

If you wanna get through the mud you really need pizza cutters. Wide tires just flatten things.

Yeah, that means he stock tires would have to be overall 23" ... My old Honda had bigger then 23". For example, if his stock tire was 29" overall and he added 35's you would think that it is 6" of lift but it's actually only 3". It's 3" on top and 3" on the bottom. You only get "lift" from the bottom. For him to get 6" of lift from tires he would have to have 41's if stock was 29". I would guess that he only got about 1-2" lift from the tires plus the 6" from his lift kit.

What is his stock tire size?

i dont know, but he just got it back from the place where it got lifted, its 9 inch lift kit with those tires and it gained an overall of 12.3 inches...i can add pics on tuesday when he brings it to work

That would make more sense if his lift kit was 9" plus tires ... then the tires are 6" overall which is 3" of lift
