Well after a long search I finally found a decent price on a set of 16x8 5x5½ bolt pattern wheels, so I finally have my 36" Tsl's installed. Fit looks good, clears my tie rods, although I'm going to have to "adjust" my tailpipe:

Those do look good. Funny how they make your tires seem deceptively small. They look like 33's on 15's.

Yup, I agree,

it's come a long way from 3 years ago when it looked like this:

the TSL's are one of the few true 36" tires, it's interesting when you look at interco's specs on them, when you go from a 15 to 16" wheel, the number of ply's in the sidewall goes from 6 to 10.

That was one of the reasons, along with the clearance on the tie rods Looks like I've got room to go tie-rod over on the knuckles, which are off of a 78 Bronco (part of my disc swap)
